All Blacks final World Cup squad?

So who is in the AB squad for the RWC?

I watched the Samoa game and was surprised by the short ingoals. The ingoal length seemed shorter than the minimum standard 6m. Do you have any information about the pitch size of that stadium? Was that at Apia Park?

Where have you been man? lol. Quick google search will tell you. Pretty much who you'd expect - big talking points are Naholo, Skudder and to a lesser extent Slade over Sopoaga.

Have there been any All Blacks player from Niue or Cook Islands?

don't know, but Lima Sopoaga's mum is a cook islander, and Rene Ranger is of cook island ethnicity. But both were born in NZ.

As mentioned there are players like Rene Ranger, Lima Sopoaga and Frank Bunce who have either Cook Island / Niuean decent - but no player has been born in those Islands and played for the All Blacks.

Like your analysis. Insofar as the best management cannot be perfect, should they have picked the deterioration of Mealamu, Woodcock, Conrad earlier, and replaced them in '14?

Apparently some 'secret' games were played a few weeks ago. The All Blacks only had 1 public training sessions before leaving. Top secret stuff huh..

yeah it seems like "some stuff" happened internally which would have made interesting viewing, I heard Naholo played a blinder in one of the internal games, which obviously would have been before he was injured/before squad announced. Potentially a closed door trial game of some sort.
