The All Blacks have named an unchanged side to take on Australia in the World Cup final this weekend.
The only selection dilemma was at loosehead prop where Wyatt Crockett was ruled out after re-injuring his groin at training. He had been selected on the bench, with Joe Moody starting in the number one jersey. Ben Franks will take Crockett's place in the reserves.
The rest of the team is predictable, with half a dozen playing the last games in the black jersey. They include captain Richie McCaw, though he's yet to officially announce his retirement, as well as Dan Carter, Ma'a Nonu, Conrad Smith and Kevin Mealamu.
The two sides have met twice this year with the Wallabies winning in Sydney, only for the All Blacks to exact revenge big time in Auckland.
The Wallaby back row of David Pocock, Michael Hooper and Scott Fardy is a major threat to the wallabies - one that McCaw is acutely aware of.
At the team naming press conference, head coach Steve Hansen talked about the Wallabies, and how he enjoys being head coach rather than the assistant like he was four years ago, and McCaw gives his thoughts on how the final will play out.
