The All Blacks did some much-needed face-saving against the Wallabies on Saturday but it wasn't enough for many of them to force their way into nzherald.co.nz's Tri-Nations XV.
Unsurprisingly, the side includes 10 players from the champion Springboks, who wrapped up the Tri-Nations title with a 32-29 win over New Zealand in Hamilton a week ago.
The All Blacks scratchy campaign was reflected with just four players named - automatic selections Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Tony Woodcock and bolter Cory Jane - while the Wallabies representation matched their win Tri-Nations win count.
