Incumbent All Blacks first-five Beauden Barrett will miss Saturday's third Bledisloe Cup Test in Brisbane, presumably because of his on-going concussion issues, with 12-Test pivot Lima Sopoaga named to start instead.
Damian McKenzie will begin the match at fullback and cover the No. 10 position for Sopoaga if needed.
Highlanders' wrecking-ball Waisake Naholo will start on the right wing in place of the injured Nehe Milner-Skudder, while the in-form Rieko Ioane will look to light up the All Blacks' backline from the left wing.
Sam Cane will start at openside in his 50th test, with Crusader Matt Todd set to provide cover from the bench. Hurricanes flanker Ardie Savea has been left out of the match 23 entirely.
Halfback TJ Perenara will ride the pine in place of Tawera Kerr-Barlow, while midfielder Anton Lienert-Brown has also been added to the reserves.
Backline utility David Havili will look to earn his third Test cap from the bench.
The All Blacks have already retained the Bledisloe Cup, with the match kicking off at 10:05pm NZ time at Suncorp Stadium.
