All Blacks stars dominate in SANZAAR's unique twist on Super Rugby team of the decade

Seven All Blacks stars have outnumbered their Australian and South African counterparts in a Super Rugby 'home' team of the decade released by SANZAAR.

After crunching the numbers over the course of the past ten years, the competition's governing body have released a starting XV based on the best performers on home soil in Super Rugby.

The release of the side comes a week after the revelation of the 'away' team of the decade, which also featured seven All Blacks.

While some alterations have been made to this side, there are some players who have retained their places from the 'away' team following a string of compelling performances in front of home crowds.

Among those to make both the 'home' and 'away' teams include electric playmakers Beauden Barrett and Damian McKenzie, while the entire front row of Steven Kitshoff, Malcolm Marx and Allan Alaalatoa remains unchanged.

New Blues recruit Barrett boasted the most points of any player while playing at home over the past ten years during his tenure with the Hurricanes, and McKenzie was the only Kiwi to have registered 200 running metres in a home game over that timespan.

The three front rowers dominated statistics in all facets of the game, topping home match charts for carries, running metres, tackles and tries.

Leading the new additions to the side is former Highlanders flyer Waisake Naholo, who scored 23 tries in his last 24 matches in home fixtures, and ex-Reds midfielder Samu Kerevi.

The 33-test Wallaby averaged the most defenders beaten during his six-season spell at Suncorp Stadium, and partners up with dynamic Crusaders centre Jack Goodhue.

Dominant in both defence and attack, Goodhue is joined in the backline by Super Rugby and international teammate George Bridge, who averaged 68 metres per home match on the left wing.

Former Reds and Rebels halfback Will Genia's exploits with ball in hand during his time in Queensland saw him pick up two of the biggest running metre figures for singular matches of any No. 9 in the competition.

In the loose forwards, former All Blacks captain Kieran Read is joined by 2019 World Rugby player of the year nominee Ardie Savea and Lions returnee Jaco Kriel.

The latter pair's ball carrying prowess earned them places in this team, while Read's work rate at the lineout for the Crusaders was superior to that of every other No. 8 in the league.

The side is rounded out by an impressive second row pairing of Rebels star Luke Jones and 2019 World Rugby player of the year Pieter-Steph du Toit of the Stormers.

Both players averaged well over three lineouts won per match, and have proven to be a handful defensively and offensively since making their Super Rugby debuts in 2010 and 2012, respectively.
