There has been plenty of gossip and intrigue as the hours tick down towards the most highly anticipated All Blacks side in many years.
With a Rugby World Cup defence on the line, this is one All Blacks squad no one wants to miss out on and the heartbreak will be bigger than it normally has been.
After weeks of rehearsals, auditions and speculation, it will now all come down to what happens at Parliament at 6:30pm on Sunday evening.
Reading into the leaked reports and social media like a journo at the close of football's transfer window - helped by the fact that our biggest clue is that all 31 All Blacks will be unveiled after the naming of the squad tonight, having had their phone calls earlier today - we may very well have figured out the 31 men going to England next month.
Here it is -
