That looks like a very interesting team/combination of players you have posted,  Your bench seems to be rather mixed up.  16 is the replacement hooker and 21 the replacement scrummie.  Normally the ebnch is made up of the following:-
16  Hooker17 Loosehead prop18  Tighthead nprop19  Lock20  Loosie21  scrummie22  Flyhalf/full back alternative23  Wing/center alternative.  
There are two players on your list who will be pushing it a bit - SBW is going to be well on his way to 35 and Ben Smith to 34.  By 2019 I think both may be playing NH club rugby to enlarge their financial interests.  Sonny Bill is for sure going to work on his personal fortune.
However, the team as a whole looks strong and competitive.  
In SA nothing is clear at this stage.  Draad is talking about a core of 5 to 6 players and we also have political interference that could only get worse.  2019 is the next SA election year and since the ANC may be in trouble - they will interfere wholesale in everything where they believe they can score cheap political points through racism.

 Yeah that is true. We just do't have any good centres coming through atm that I Can think of. Moala is sure to be a future ab. So Moala 12 and Fekitoa 13 possibly. But you need that intelligent player like Smith. So Buckman from the Landers maybe a possibility, or Crotty from Saders. B Smith is currently the worlds best Fullback. But 2019 well see. Skudder may play fullback by that stage. Naholo maybe, but who knows where he well be. Brad Webber from Cheifs well prob be their too, halfback. Patrick Osburne possibly to play right wing. Matt Proctor and Tony Lamborn possibly from Canes. Lolagi Visinia, Reiko Ioane, Ben Lam prob pushing fringes at that point too so..


15. Skudder 14. Lolagi Visinia 13. Fekitoa 12. Moala 11. Savea 10. Barrett 9. A Smith 8. Read 7. Cane (c) 6. Ioane 5. Whitelock 4. Retalluck 3. Moody 2. Coles 1. Goodes

I am most impressed by the following younger players in the NZ set up not regulars in the AB team at present and not even in the squad:-
Damien MacKenzie. Nene Milner-Skudder, Malekai Fekitoa, Ardie Savea
I must admit I am not impressed w2ith their props - even those you named.  
I can remember Moala playing most impressively in one of the Super Rugby games last year at center - but he was also used on the wing - where he was not equally impressive.   Hope the Blues play him at center in future.
I must admit I like what I saw in Buckman - but for me Crotty is a jouneyman, not a house on fire.  Personally I think it would be worthwhile to watch players carefully in the upcoming Super series and try and keep record of how they perform over the series.  One-match wonders are not for me.  I like to see continuous performance.

 i do think there is enough quality for the all blacks to make it 3 in a row in 2019
its up to the other nations to change there ways to close the massive gap at the moment.

Moala played in the Samoa test, and score a crucial try. He should get more chances now Nonu and Smith are gone, and SBW focusing on the Sevens for the Olympics.


Centre combos possible:


Crotty/Fekitoa


Moala/Fekitoa


Buckman/Fekitoa


Fekitoa I see the incumbent tbh from this point on. Damian I agree well be in the mix next year, bearing his super rugby form. Don't forget Cruden if he is fit in form, then he should be the starting ten. Something like this for RC


15. B Smith 14. Skudder 13. Fekitoa 12. Crotty 11. Savea 10. Cruden 9. A Smith 8. Read 7. Cane 6. Kaino 5. Whitelock 4. Retalluck 3. Faumaina 2. Coles 1. Crockett


But of course have till wait to Feb, too see it all unfold.

 Massive gap. Bwhahahahahahahaha ou muncher has gone completely daft. What tune would this canary have been singing but for matfileds penalty reversal. Or France winning thelast RWC as they so clearly should have but for Craig Joubert!Hahahahahahahahahahaha  hilarious stuff from the muncher.
In conclusion the wee abs cant look uglier than they are now so maybe they will look better?

I can tell you exactly what the All Blacks will look like in 2019. They'll be wearing black and they'll be holding the William Webb-Ellis trophy above their heads, a lot like the picture above.

 Hasbeeno, did you ever go to school?For someone who delights in using the word "burgle" and it's variants, it would be reasonable to assume you would be able to spell it correctly. I thought nothing could make you look any sillier than you already are but your atrocious bastardising of the English language confirms you are a completely illiterate plonker...
