There are just 10 days until the All Blacks open their World Cup campaign, where they hope to win the Webb Ellis trophy for the first time on foreign soil and become the first team to win back-to-back titles.

When quizzed about his starting XV for the match against Argentina, Hansen stayed coy on the topic.

"In our heads we have (decided the starting XV), we haven't finalised it though, there's a lot of things that can happen between now and then," Hansen said.

Hansen later admitted that he will put out the best team he can against Argentina, who he believed posed the biggest threat in their pool.

The All Blacks flew out for London on Thursday night.
