It's a new squad, but we should expect more of the same from the All Blacks.

If there's a hallmark of Steve Hansen's time as head coach, it's been his ability to mix the tried and true, with a few who are new, with the same old winning way.

This time he's responded to Super Rugby form with six new faces, and there is simply no arguing with the selections of Damian McKenzie, Elliot Dixon and Ardie Savea.

Around these new faces are the bulk of our World Cup winners, along with a much deserved comeback for Israel Dagg.

The All Blacks aren't rebuilding, just re-establishing.
