Coach Graham Henry named a very strong All Black side to take on the Boks on Saturday.

Henry picked a side that is very close to his strongest possible side.The only problem area he has at the moment is at lock where four of his top locks are injured (Ali Williams, James Ryan, Jason Eaton and Keith Robinson) and Chris Jack stayed behind in New Zealand for the birth of his child. This forced Henry to pick the Auckland Blues duo of Troy Flavell and Greg Rawlinson to take on the Boks. The rest of the All Black side is pretty much as expected with Anton Oliver to start at hooker to help gain ascendancy in the scrums.

The All Black team for Saturday:15.Mils Muliaina, 14.Joe Rokocoku, 13.Isaia Toeava, 12.Aaron Mauger, 11.Sitiveni Sivivatu, 10.Dan Carter, 9.Byron Kelleher, 8.Rodney So’oialo, 7.Richie McCaw(captain), 6.Jerry Collins, 5.Greg Rawlinson, 4.Troy Flavell, 3.Carl Hayman, 2.Anton Oliver, 1.Tony Woodcock

Reserves: Kevin Mealamu, Neemia Tialata, Ross Felipo, Chris Masoe, Piri Weepu, Luke McAllister and Leon MacDonald
