All Blacks: Israel Dagg, Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Julian Savea, Dan Carter, Aaron Smith, Kieran Read, Richie McCaw (c), Liam Messam, Sam Whitelock, Brodie Retallick, Owen Franks, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Dane Coles, Wyatt Crockett, Luke Romano, Charlie Faumuina, Victor Vito, Piri Weepu, Aaron Cruden, Ben Smith.
Clearly the #1 team, obviously without Hore who would be the #1 hooker right now I think. Really nothing between the three locks, Whitelock being the more senior and Retalick being the youngster and Romano has just been superb in his debut season in a test jumper.
Hope Carter recovers well, my guess is he still needs to prove he's fit.
