The All Black No.8 Kieran Read's been named to start against Canada in Wellington on Sunday as expected but the real interest may be out the back.
Veteran fullback Mils Muliaina returns for his 99th Test with star rookie Israel Dagg named on the right wing, while Zac Guildford returns on the left wing.
Sonny Bill Williams starts at second five with Ma'a Nonu rested. Jimmy Cowan's the halfback with Piri Weepu in the reserves.
Andrew Hore's the starting hooker with Keven Mealamu on the bench and Sam Whitelock is joined by Ali Williams in the lineouts. Brad Thorn's also riding the pine along with Ben Franks, Anthony Boric, Colin Slade and Isaia Toeava.
There's no room for Victor Vito with Richie McCaw starting his record 101st Test.
