With a perfect balance of brutal forward pack aggression and newfound spark in the outer backs, New Zealand is officially primed for a historic championship run. In this video, I give my personal opinion on each player selected and break down exactly how they will help the New Zealand Kiwis dominate the competition and capture the shield in this year's Rugby League World Cup.
