The defending champions New Zealand come into this World Cup with one of the strongest looking teams in the history of rugby. In 2013 they became the 1st nation in the professional era to achieve a 100% record in a calendar year and arguably they have only improved since then with the addition of players like the dynamic Malakai Fekitoa and the try machine Waisake Naholo, both of whom were key parts of the Highlanders’ title winning team in Super XV last season.

However it’s not just that they almost always win that makes the All Blacks exciting to watch. It’s the fact that manage to do so whilst playing such an expansive, high-risk style of rugby that makes them so entertaining. If they bring their a-game to the World Cup then they will surely be among the most exciting teams to watch at this year’s tournament.
