There are just three players in the All Blacks squad yet to get a run at the World Cup but come the end of Sunday's pool game against Canada all 30 members of the squad should have had a run at the tournament.

Number eight Kieran Read has declared himself fit and ready to play having recovered from an ankle injury he suffered in the tri nations final loss to Australia.

Injury's also denied fullback Mils Muliaina a run while winger Zach Guildford is is the other player not to have taken the field.

But assistant coach Wayne Smith has indicated Muliaina and Guildford aren't likely to be left on the sideline for the rest of the tournament.
