Writing in the New Zealand Herald, Richard Loe selects his World Cup 30 and hopes for consistency from the All Blacks coaches.
"There's no surprises in my All Black squad of 30 for the Tri Nations - even though I am usually of the mind to pick from form, rather than reputation.
"To me, this is a fairly straightforward selection, with little room left for major drama. Form has been consistent, most of the players have been consistent and so selection becomes consistent, too.
"This season has mostly been about consolidating those who have been selected before - and there is very little room for some to force their way in.
"Having said that, there is nothing to stop the selectors sending some who haven't had much rugby or who haven't shown much form lately off to the ITM Cup - and then seeing if they rate highly enough to make the final World Cup squad.”
