[QUOTE="Te Puke Thunder, post: 379872, member: 43149"] Will there be any bolters to make this All Black World Cup squad and who is likly to miss out on selection? Young Matt Todd of the Crusaders has impressed but it will be hard to oust Daniel Braid as McCaw's backup. My money is on Robert Fruean ...though I have mentioned in the past, he will likely miss out to make room for SBW as was the case on the 2010 EOYT when it was Fruean who truly deserved a spot. There's going to be some dissapointed backs come the world cup, especially those playing outside the First Five position. Ma' Nonu, Conrad Smith, SBW, Robert Fruean, Richard Kahui, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Hosea Gear, Rene Ranger, Israel Dagg, Joe Rokokoko, Cory Jane, Mils Muliaina, Isaia Toeava, Luke McAlister and Benson Stanley. So many to chose from, someone has to miss out. Alby Matthewson? Hika Elliot? Slade, Donald or Cruden? Donnelly, Williams, Whitelock, Boric? Thompson, Messam, Braid, Vito or maybe Latimer? I've chosen my 1st and 2nd XV's below. That would be my squad selection. [B][U]New Zealand 1st XV[/U][/B] 1. Tony Woodcock 2. Kevin Mealamu 3. Owen Franks 4. Brad Thorn 5. Ali Williams 6. Jerome Kaino 7. Richie McCaw 8. Kieran Read 9. Piri Weepu 10. Dan Carter 11. Sitiveni Sivivatu 12. Ma'a Nonu 13. Conrad Smith 14. Cory Jane 15. Mils Muliaina [B][U]New Zealand 2nd XV[/U][/B] 1. Ben Franks 2. Andrew Hore 3. John Afoa 4. Tom Donnelly 5. Sam Whitelock 6. Adam Thompson 7. Daniel Braid 8. Liam Messam 9. Jimmy Cowan 10. Colin Slade 11. Hosea Gear 12. Richard Kahui / Sonny Bill Williams 13. Robert Fruean / Richard Kahui 14. Rene Ranger 15. Israel Dagg [/QUOTE]
