Trust us, we know what we're doing - that's the message from the All Blacks selectors to nervous All Black fans.

The side picked for the Rugby World Cup opener against Tonga raised a few question marks, particularly with two non specialist wingers in Isaia Toeva and Richard Kahui being named on the wing.

Assistant coach Steve Hansen says he understands the nervousness among the New Zealand rugby public given the All Blacks haven't won the touranment since 1987 but is confident they have a plan in place to succeed this time.
