    Ardie Savea will stand in as All Blacks captain this weekend, with Scott Barrett ruled out due to a shoulder injury


    Barrett's replaced by Fabian Holland in the run-on side, which features 11 survivors from the worst ever defeat a fortnight ago to South Africa.

    Codie Taylor, Cam Roigard and Caleb Clarke all return to the run-on side.

    Coach Scott Robertson says Barrett suffered the injury at the end of the Wellington loss and did train this week...but wasn't 100%.
