Brodie Retallick is the sole survivor of the forwards from the Argentina test, with Shannon Frizell joining Joe Moody, Codie Taylor, Owen Franks, Sam Whitelock, Matt Todd and Kieran Read in the pack.
Only Beauden Barrett and Ben Smith remain from the backline, however both move positions.
Barrett shifts to fullback to accommodate Richie Mo'unga at first five, pushing Smith to the right wing.
TJ Perenara starts at halfback, Sonny Bill Williams and Jack Goodhue combine in midfield while Rieko Ioane rounds out the starting side.
The reserves are Dane Coles, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Angus Ta'avao, Vaea Fifita, Dalton Papali'i, Aaron Smith, Anton Lienert-Brown and George Bridge.
