There's a new look midfield with Ryan Crotty returning from concussion to
second five and Anton Lienert Brown promoted from the bench.
Ben Smith shifts from fullback to the right wing with Jordie Barrett handed
the number 15 jersey and Rieko Ioane coming in on the left wing.
Waisake Naholo is rested and Hansen says they've also giving Jack Goodhue a

Hansen says Goodhue has had four big games and is a young player so they just

As expected Sam Whitelock, Liam Squire and Sam Cane return to the pack.
