KEY POINTS:
Former All Black fullback Fergie McCormick is expecting all the rigorous World Cup planning to pay dividends for the All Blacks and see them return home as World Champions, he told nzherald.co.nz.
McCormick, a 16-test All Black, said the All Blacks have the best balanced side with a solid forward pack and a "very exciting backline if we use it right".
However, he added the World Cup is a rare opportunity and it is all about turning it on when it matters.
