Player to watch?

Ad

New Zealand captain Richie McCaw and stand-off Dan Carter have been the best players in the world for the past two years.

Who will win?

New Zealand, if their top players are fit; they're the best team in the world. Dark horse: Samoa have been knocking on the door for some time - they gave England a hell of a scare four years ago.

Mr Indestructible

Simon Shaw. Every team has an enforcer and he does the job for England from the second row.
