All Blacks say Sonny Bill a possible starter against Springboks

Not wanting to knock SBW and for what he brings to the game and Shag is looking at experience for this match Imo, but he hasn't played for an age and if this match is going to swing the way punters think it will, why not blood a new inside centre, give someone a sniff before they get the call from Toulon and bugger off :).

Whatever. They would win with anyone from their top 50 players in the team.

I agree. An AB third-string side would probably qualify to a WC qf, possibly semi provided they don't face their first or 2nd XV in the qf.
