The hooker Kevin Mealaumu will captain the All Blacks for the first time on Saturday night in the opening game of their 5-match tour of the UK.
Mealaumu will lead a team that includes 12 changes from the side which beat the Wallabies in Hong Kong last weekend.
Three forwards will be making their All Black debuts - the loosehead prop Jamie Mackintosh, and loose forwards Liam Messam and Kieran Read.
Coach Graham Henry says the many changes reflect his opinion that it's too much to ask any one to play five internationals in five weeks.
Stephen Donald will again be the starting first five, and the only other survivors from the Hong Kong starting lineup are Ali Williams and Isaia Toeava.
The starting fifteen is 15 Isaia Toeava, 14-Anthony Tuitavake, 13-Richard Kahui, 12-Ma'a Nonu, 11-Josevata Rokocoko, 10-Stephen Donald, 9-Piri Weepu, 8-Liam Messam, 7-Adam Thomson, 6-Kieran Read, 5-Ali Williams 4-Anthony Boric, 3-John Afoa, 2-Kevin Mealamu (captain), 1- Jamie Mackintosh.
