15. Damian McKenzie, 14. Ben Smith, 13. Ryan Crotty, 12. Sonny Bill Williams, 11. Rieko Ioane, 10. Beauden Barrett, 9. TJ Perenara, 8. Kieran Read ©, 7. Ardie Savea, 6. Liam Squire, 5. Scott Barrett, 4. Sam Whitelock, 3. Owen Franks, 2. Codie Taylor, 1. Joe Moody.
Reserves: 16. Nathan Harris, 17. Karl Tu'inukuafe, 18. Nepo Laulala, 19. Brodie Retallick, 20. Matt Todd, 21. Aaron Smith, 22. Richie Mo'unga, 23. Anton Lienert-Brown.
Some surprises is McKenzie is starting at full back which mean Nahalo is dropped. Coles didn't make the starting 23. Richie Mo is backup 10 (not McKenzie). Retallick is back but on the bench. TJ starts as A. Smith is on the bench. Matt Todd is on the bench as Ardie and Squire join Read as loose forwards. Joe Moody starts.
A good team, TJ deserves the start as A. Smith has been a bit off his game. I hope we get to see a lot of Richie Mo as he is taking every opportunity to show he's a backup 10 and maybe put pressure on B. Barrett to start. Having Barrett, McKenz ie and Richie Mo on the field at the same time will be electric. Then there is Ben Smith.
