Last night the new All Blacks side was announced. Lomu, Mehrtens, Cullen, Randell, Oliver and Flavell all not included! What do you rugby followers think. They are still the favourites, and ARE going to win the WC! :-)

They'll be fine, they're still the favorites, and they will win the WC.

Yeah you kiwis would definitely have to go in as favourites. You gave the Aussies and Safas a hammering in the last few months. England will be tough and are a real darkhorse I reckon.

Australia in their home country wont go down without a fight either.

I'm still backing the Wallabies!!!

i think its the new combos in the NZ team that are its strength.

sure, cullen and mehrtens are phenomenal players, but i think the new blood in the blacks backline like muliaini and carlos (yes, i know hes hardly new) makes it the biggest weapon in world rugby at the moment.

its a shame jonah didn´t make it... (in fact as an Aussie, i´d rather Jonah than howlett and rocococo)...

and just think, when you´re a coach who´s rejecting players of this callibre, you know you´re on a good thing.

All Blacks are definitely the favs, but like JTC, i´m still backing the Wallabies!!
