Steve Hansen has jumped on the opportunity to recall All Black flyhalf Dan Carter, who has recovered from a calf injury.
Carter replaces Tom Taylor, who drops from the match 22 altogether. Outside Carter there will be a debutant in Francis Saili, who plays ahead of the slightly injured Ma’a Nonu, who gets a break this weekend.
Amongst the forwards we see Charlie Faumuina start ahead of Owen Franks, who is suffering from a groin injury.
