Flanker Ardie Savea will captain New Zealand against Australia at the weekend, while prop James Slipper will make his 150th appearance for the Wallabies after the teams were named yesterday.
The All Blacks made four changes to a side “stung” by their record 43-10 humiliation to South Africa and Australia made six alterations to the team who started in the 28-26 loss to Argentina in Sydney two weeks ago.
Lock Fabian Holland replaces regular All Blacks captain Scott Barrett, who has a shoulder injury.
Veteran hooker Codie Taylor is recalled after recovering from injury along with scrumhalf Cam Roigard and wing Caleb Clarke.
For the Wallabies, fit-again wing Harry Potter comes back and youngster Max Jorgensen will play at fullback in place of the injured Andrew Kellaway.
Centre Len Ikitau returns from injury while the halfback pair of veteran fly-half James O’Connor and scrumhalf Tate McDermott are promoted from the bench.
