All Blacks Ready For Boks

As the first semi-final of the 2015 Rugby World Cup draws closer, reigning champions, the All Blacks, have finally names their team to take on South Africa’s Springboks.

The classic rivalry between the All Blacks and the Springboks have been one for the record books. Both teams are very physical in play, both teams have won the Rugby World Cup twice and both teams have the utmost respect for one another.

This is exactly why Saturday’s clash between these two great rugby nations is one not to be missed.

While the Springboks named their starting lineup for the epic semi-final yesterday, the All Blacks have named their starting lineup today.

The team that will take on South Africa’s Springboks is:

15 Ben Smith, 14 Nehe Milner-Skudder, 13 Conrad Smith, 12 Ma’a Nonu, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Daniel Carter, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Kieran Read, 7 Richie McCaw (captain), 6 Jerome Kaino, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Brodie Retallick, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Joe Moody
