This was the NZ starting XV in Sydney this year:
1 Woodcock
2 Coles
3 Owen Franks
4 Retallick
5 Romano
6 Kaino
7 McCaw
8 Read
9 Aaron Smith
10 Carter
11 Savea
12 SBW
13 Conrad Smith
14 Milner Skudder
15 Ben Smith
A really strong XV with the best available in that moment.
Why underestimate a starting XV with Sonny Bill Williams? A year ago NZ made 50 points with Ryan Crotty at 12!!!! And 2 years ago the ABs beat Australia with SBW at 12. So definetly was a step up for this team.
Who's underestimating the ABs?
