WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Ardie Savea will lead New Zealand in Saturday's Bledisloe Cup and Rugby Championship test against Australia in Auckland in the absence of regular captain Scott Barrett who has a shoulder injury.
Head coach Scott Robertson otherwise has made only four personnel changes to the starting lineup which suffered New Zealand's worst-ever test defeat at the hands of South Africa two weeks ago. New Zealand lost 43-10 after leading 10-7 at halftime.
Veteran hooker Codie Taylor returns to the starting lineup and Fabian Holland will start at lock in Barrett's absence. Cam Roigard returns from injury at scrumhalf and Caleb Clarke has been named on the left wing for his first test in 2025.
Leroy Carter moves to the right wing and Will Jordan moves from winger to fullback. Lock Patrick Tuipulotu and scrumhalf Cortez Ratima return from injury on the bench while backrower Peter Lakai also has been named among the reserves for the first time this season.
Meanwhile, prop James Slipper will become the first Wallaby to play 150 tests after being named in Australia's starting lineup.
James O'Connor will start at flyhalf Saturday with Tane Edmed on the bench. Max Jorgenson will play a test at fullback for the first time after being moved from the wing to replace the injured Andrew Kellaway.
Tate McDermott will start at scrumhalf for the first time this year, combining with O'Connor in his 50th test while Ryan Lonergan has named to make his potential test debut from the bench.
Lock Lukhan Salakaia-Loto will also start a test for the first time in 2025, joining Nick Frost in the second row. Tom Hooper has been named at blindside flanker in the absence of Rob Valetini.
For the All Blacks, Beauden Barrett has been retained at flyhalf though his form this season has been poor and his kicking game continues to provide opponents with attacking opportunities. Jordie Barrett also has been retained in midfield.
The All Blacks' forward pack was overwhelmed at set pieces against South Africa, yet Robertson made only two changes to the tight five, one of which is forced by injury. He hopes Taylor's return will improve the All Blacks' lineout.
After four rounds all four teams are 2-2 and with a chance of winning the Rugby Championship. Australia leads the tournament with 11 points, ahead of South Africa and New Zealand with 10 and Argentina with nine.
“With all teams being two from four in this Rugby Championship, we all have everything to play for in these final two rounds," Robertson said. "We are preparing for a strong Australian side and understand the importance of this match and the Bledisloe Cup. There is a lot to play for on Saturday evening.”
The All Blacks will be defending a 39-year unbeaten record against Australia at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday and will attempt to retain the Bledisloe Cup for the 23rd year.
New Zealand: Will Jordan, Leroy Carter, Billy Proctor, Caleb Clarke, Beauden Barrett, Cam Roigard; Wallace Sititi, Ardie Savea (captain), Simon Parker, Tupou Vaa'i, Fabian Holland, Tyrel Lomax, Codie Taylor, Ethan de Groot.
