Four Highlanders are in the All Blacks squad for the up-coming Rugby World Cup.

Halfback Aaron Smith and midfielder Malakai Fekitoa feature in the team, set to play Argentina in the first match.

Outside backs Ben Smith and Waisake Naholo have also made the cut and will travel to London.

Lima Sopoaga fans are disappointed he's been left out of the squad despite a stellar season.

The first five-eighth only recently became an All Black, receiving his first cap against South Africa in Johannesburg.

The All Blacks also play Namibia, Georgia and Tonga in pool play.
