[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 632182, member: 24910"] Just as he has for the last 2 years :) Like you I think Dagg will be picked, but it is a waste to not pick the best fullback in NZ rugby at 15.... As The_Blindside states the AB's have a very settled side at the moment, so I don't expect many surprises in the 23 named. I expect we will see something along the lines of: 1. Woodcock, 2. Coles, 3. O Franks, 4. Retallick, 5. Whitelock, 6. Messam, 7. McCaw, 8. Read, 9. A Smith, 10. Cruden, 11. Savea, 12. Nonu, 13. C Smith, 14. B Smith, 15. Dagg 16. Mealamu, 17. Crockett, 18. Faumuina, 19. Luatua/Romano, 20. Cane/Luatua, 21. Kerr-Barlow, 22. Barrett, 23. Piutau The likes of Ben Franks, Liam Coltman, Dom Bird, Jerome Kaino, TJ Perenara, Tom Taylor, Francis Saili, Ryan Crotty, and Cory Jane could also feature, but are unlikely to play major roles (unless there are injuries, or Kaino plays like the Kaino of 2011...).
