In the backs, TJ Perenara will start at halfback and Aaron Smith is on the bench, Beauden Barrett moves to fullback to make way for Richie Mo'unga at 10, Sonny Bill Williams returns to the All Blacks at 12, inside Jack Goodhue at centre.  Rieko Ioane is on the left wing, and with Barrett at fullback, Ben Smith moves to the right-wing. Anton Lienert-Brown and George Bridge are the other back reserves.
