England's The Telegraph newspaper has named their 'World XV' from the end of year internationals, showing a national bias with more English players getting the nod ahead of All Blacks.
Halfback Aaron Smith, prop Owen Franks and blindside flanker Jerome Kaino were the three All Blacks who did enough over the past few months to impress The Telegraph scribes.
Meanwhile four England players made the XV - prop Joe Marler, lock Courtney Lawes, captain Chris Robshaw and winger Jonny May.
Richie McCaw didn't make the cut with Robshaw named in the seven jersey, despite the fact that four of The Telegraph's seven rugby experts picked the All Blacks skipper as their 'tourist of the autumn' in a separate piece.
There was also no room for All Blacks lock Brodie Retallick who was named World Rugby player of the year last month.
