We’ll pick our best team available and we’re looking forward to a good physical contest against the Springboks since it’s exactly what we need heading into our first Rugby World Cup game.

This was highlighted by the All Blacks assistant coach Jason Ryan as the All Blacks looks forward to their final RWC warm-up match against the Springboks this week in London.

Ryan has reiterated the sentiment shared by head coach Ian Foster that a full strength All Blacks team will take the field and the Springboks can expect the best team available which means the sellout crowd will be treated to a spectacle.

The All Blacks are searching for their fifth win this year from five Tests, the 12th game in this undefeated streak and a third straight win over South Africa.

Ryan says they just got to have a dominant mindset and if they’re hesitant in anything that’s when they get injuries.

The All Blacks will take on the Springboks at 6.30am Saturday at Twickenham Stadium in London.
