Centre Isaia Toeava and No 8 Liam Messam have paid the price for the All Blacks' first test rugby loss to France by being dropped for the second test at Wellington on Saturday.
The pair are missing from the starting lineup who lost 27-22 in Dunedin, while there are four changes in total as flanker Adam Thomson (hand) and hooker Andrew Hore (ribs) miss out because of injury.
Chiefs flanker Tanerau Latimer will make his first test start on the openside flank, having debuted off the bench last weekend.
The other newcomer to the loose forward trio is Jerome Kaino, who returns from a knee injury to start on the blindside flank, with Kieran Read shifting to No 8 in place of Messam.
Toeava is replaced at centre by Conrad Smith, who has been sporting a hamstring injury but trained fully this morning.
Keven Mealamu starts at hooker while Chiefs hooker Aled de Malmanche comes into the reserves. De Malmanche and Crusaders flanker George Whitelock are both uncapped players on the bench.
All Blacks team named today for the second rugby test against France at Westpac Stadium on Saturday:
Mils Muliaina (captain), Cory Jane, Conrad Smith, Ma'a Nonu, Joe Rokocoko, Stephen Donald, Jimmy Cowan, Kieran Read, Tanerau Latimer, Jerome Kaino, Isaac Ross, Brad Thorn, Neemia Tialata, Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock. Reserves: Aled de Malmanche, John Afoa, Bryn Evans, George Whitelock, Piri Weepu, Luke McAlister, Isaia Toeava
