Fifita will travel to Argentina for the Rugby Championship test in Buenos Aires, with Kieran Read staying home to manage his travel workload.
When he wasn't wanted in the original squad, Fifita believed he wasn't being told the truth around his selection and needing more time at blindside.
Coach Steve Hansen says Fifita's playing well in the Mitre10 Cup for Wellington.
He says Wellington coach Chris Gibbes has been doing a good job getting Fifita to play more like a 6, especially at the breakdown.
Kieran Read will head straight to South Africa, while Fifita will head home after Argentina.
