The All Blacks have named the starting lineup for their first game on Saturday night against the Springboks for the Rugby World Cup. 

All Blacks Head Coach Steve Hansen said: "Any combination of players in our squad could have justified their selection. But in the end we believe the 23 we have selected is the right group for this opposition.
