    Hooker Brodie McAlister and lock Liam Jack are straight swaps for George Bell and Sam Darry - who are heading to Chicago with the All Blacks.

    Tahlor Cahill, Gus Brown and James White are the new faces on the bench.

    Otago have Josh Timu back at centre after he missed their semi final triumph over Bay of Plenty.
