The New Zealand Herald's Hayden Donnell talks to All Blacks legends Wayne Shelford and Colin Meads following the announcement of the 30-man squad for the tournament.
"Rugby greats have hit out at a decision to include veteran lock Ali Williams in All Blacks squad for the Rugby World Cup, but they are applauding a decision to include wing Zac Guildford at in the squad at the expense of Sitiveni Sivivatu and Hosea Gear.
Iconic former All Black captain and lock Colin Meads said he worried about the match fitness of experienced players such as Williams and prop Tony Woodcock, who are both coming back from long injury layoffs.
In-form young players such as Canterbury prop Wyatt Crockett were unlucky to miss out on selection, Mr Meads said."
