All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson has made 11 changes to his All Black starting side to face Fiji in San Diego.
Six players are in line to make their test debuts at Snapdragon Stadium on Friday (2.30pm Saturday NZ Time), with Billy Proctor in the starting side, and George Bell, Pasilio Tosi, Sam Darry, Wallace Sititi and Noah Hotham on the bench.
LATEST HEADLINES:
Robertson had indicated there would be widespread changes during the week to ease new players into international play.
Ethan Blackadder gets a recall, starting in the loose forwards alongside Luke Jacobson and Ardie Savea.
There is only one remaining starter from the tight five that took on England, with captain Scott Barrett lining up at lock with Tupou Vaa'i.
Darry provides cover off the bench after not being initially named in the squad for this series, however Patrick Tuipulotu's injury has meant that his Blues team mate was drafted in at short notice.
It is a similar case for Hotham, who came into the squad after TJ Perenara's knee injury in the first test win against England. Hotham was one of the few success stories for a struggling Crusaders outfit this season.
There is a change on the wing, with Caleb Clarke coming in to partner Sevu Reece, Proctor joins his brother Matt as an All Black, starting at centre after his strong showing for the Hurricanes.
Proctor will team up with the consistent Anton Lienert-Brown as players jostle for Rugby Championship places.
