OPINION: At this point of the previous World Cup cycle, the All Blacks were so far ahead of the field that picking a World XV was an exercise in looking for about four or five players who weren't New Zealanders. In fact, in picking a World XV it would be easy to leave six places as yet unclaimed (see below). Third, there is no current Wallaby who would make a current World XV.
