Wynne Gray of The New Zealand Herald hedges his bets and believes Stephen Donald will be the back-up fly-half to Dan Carter come September.
"Lend me a fiver Ted and I'll plonk that on Stephen Donald being the backup All Black five-eighths at the World Cup.
Punting is not my thing as anyone would understand and advise after looking at my Super 15 tips.
But if asked for a selection hunch, a feeling in my bones, an inkling about the All Black selection intentions, my tip is they are pointing towards Waiuku's finest ahead of Aaron Cruden."
