Which All Blacks Rookies Will Make the RWC Squad?

The Rugby Championship may have ended in Australian hands for 2015, but everyone knows that the All Blacks have their eyes on a bigger prize - or two if you count the Bledisloe Cup.

Several rookies have impressed in the quest to finalise the 31 man squad to travel to England for the World Cup in September. 

How did they go and what are their chances of making the flight to London? Here's a look at each bolter's chances -

1.George Moala - did well against Samoa with a try on debut but was always warming the jersey for the Hurricanes and Highlanders in the side. Probable one-cap wonder.

2.Brad Weber - another fine game on debut against Samoa and offers like for like with Perenara and Smith but might lose out to his more experienced Chiefs teammate, Tawera Kerr-Barlow for the 3rd halfback spot. 

3.Nepo Laulala - the real bolter of the season so far. Younger brother of former ABs centre, Casey, Nepo offers a much more physical game to the ABs particularly in defence. Can play both sides of the front row which is very helpful. It will come down to the wire between him and the experienced Charlie Faumuina.

4.Waisake Naholo - solid start to his international career, curtailed by season ending injury. Offers a lot of promise for the future, though. 

5.James Broadhurst - deserved his call-up after a superb Super Rugby season but was found to be a bit lightweight against the most lightweight Boks pack in history. Unless there are major injuries, will struggle to break into the side with so much quality at lock at the moment. 

6.Lima Sopoaga - only Dan Carter had a better first game at the pivot position than Sopoaga who did his chances no harm with a sterling performance in the steamy cauldron of Ellis Park. Could beat Slade to sneak in as the 2nd first five option with Barrett able to cover fullback and first five.

7.Nehe Milner-Skudder - 2 tries in a debut where he just left off from his stunning season with the Hurricanes. His line breaking abilities and utility could be worth bringing along - could benefit from SBW's desire to play in the Olympics and take his place in the side.

8. Codie Taylor - dream debut with a try minutes after coming on. Backed that up with setting up the winning try for McCaw in Johannesburg. Again came off the bench against the Wallabies. Seems set to fill the troublesome 3rd hooker spot behind Mealamu and Coles. A star of the future.
