My Predicted All Blacks Team vs England, First Test 2024

My predicted All Blacks Team for the first test in 2024 against England in Dunedin.
I have gone for consistency and experience where mostly possible, with form considered also. This is going to be a real test and the All Blacks should avoid too many risks. This lineup will offer a very fast and exciting game plan, without sacrificing the physicality required to take on England...(?)

Let me know what you think!
