Asafo Aumua and Damian McKenzie replace the concussed Codie Taylor and Beauden Barrett at hooker and first five, otherwise the run-on side is unchanged from Twickenham.
George Bell and Stephen Perofeta have been elevated to the bench.
Loosehead prop Ethan de Groot misses the 23, despite serving his one-week ban for failing to meet team standards - his behavioural breach remains a mystery.

The All Blacks team is Tamaiti Williams, Aumua, Tyrel Lomax, Scott Barrett, Tupou Vaa'i, Wallace Sititi, Sam Cane and Ardie Savea in the forwards.
The backs are Cortez Ratima, McKenzie, Caleb Clarke, Jordie Barrett, Rieko Ioane, Mark Tele'a and Will Jordan.
The reserves are Bell, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Pasilio Tosi, Patrick Tuipulotu, Samipeni Finau, Cam Roigard, Anton Lienert-Brown and Perofeta.
