The New Zealand Herald's Wynne Gray writes an open letter to All Blacks head coach Graham Henry ahead of Friday's World Cup clash with Japan.
"Hey Ted,
"How about picking the best All Black team to play Japan on Friday. Not your "best-team-for-this-match" theory but the form XV in your squad.
"This is the time to pull the trigger, get the strongest combination on to Waikato Stadium for at least 60 minutes and then you can run on any reserves you like to give them a chance to impress.
"Japan will not get close to any All Black combination. But we don't want just any combo. Now is the time to put the form XV on the track and run them through the rest of the tournament. They need time together in match conditions, not huddled around the whiteboard."
