New Zealand squad:
Backs: Daniel Carter, Rico Gear, Doug Howlett, Byron Kelleher, Leon MacDonald, Justin Marshall, Aaron Mauger, Mils Muliaina, Ma'a Nonu, Sitiveni Sivivatu, Conrad Smith, Tana Umaga (captain).
Forwards: Jerry Collins, Carl Hayman, Chris Jack, Campbell Johnstone, Sione Lauaki, Richie McCaw, Keven Mealamu, Anton Oliver, James Ryan, Rodney So'oialo, Greg Somerville, Mose Tuiali'i, Ali Williams, Tony Woodcock
Unlucky on Gibbses and Holah to miss out, but McDonald, Gear and Hayman added.
My starting team would be:
15 Muliania
14 Gear
13 Umaga
12 Mauger
11 Sivivatu
10 Carter
9 Marhsall
1 Somerville
2 Oliver
3 Hayman
4 Jack
5 Ryan
6 Collins
7 McCaw
8 So'oialo
16 Woodcock
17 Mealamu
18 Williams
19 Lauaki
20 Kelleher
21 McDonald
22 Smith
Harsh on Howlett and Nonu, but I think Mauger proved they need a back up kicker and McDonald gives you that if even off the bench.
