Three Barrett's as All Blacks defend Eden Park
A trio of Barrett's in Dave Rennie's All Blacks team to defend the long-standing record against the Wallabies at Eden Parker in the first Bledisloe Cup match.
With Richie Mo'unga's injury, Damian McKenzie moved from fullback to No.10 and Beauden Barrett will start at fullback.
LATEST HEADLINES:
After not taking the field in the three Nations Championship tests in July, Barrett played a bit-bit part in the recent series against the Springboks - only coming off the bench in the final test in Baltimore.
Mo'unga, who also had a calf issue on his return to New Zealand from three years in Japan, will also miss the return test in Sydney a week on Saturday.
Uncapped Josh Jacomb does not make the 23 match-day squad as the All Blacks try and remain unbeaten at Eden Park since 1994 and unbeaten against Australia in Auckland since 1986.
Scott Barrett, selected in the second row with Josh Lord, is playing his first test (and only third match in total) since November last year, with Jordie Barrett named in the midfield as expected alongside Quinn Tupaea, who has recovered from a knee problem which ruled him out of the fourth test against the Springboks.
Shannon Frizell is included as loose forward cover on the reserves bench for what will be his first test for the All Blacks since the 2023 World Cup final.
Tupou Vaa'i has been selected at blindside flanker, with Wallace Sititi starting at No.8 in the absence of the injured Ardie Savea, and Peter Lakai named at openside flanker.
Leroy Carter has been named on the left wing, with Will Jordan on the right, as expected. Cam Roigard will start at halfback inside McKenzie.
Ethan de Groot, skipper Codie Taylor and Fletcher Newell make up the front row, with Anton Segner also named as loose forward cover on the bench.
Rieko Ioane and Josh Moorby make up the back reserves, along with back-up halfback Kyle Preston, further pointers to Rennie's belief that the test will be played at a high tempo.
"The Bledisloe Cup means a huge amount to this group," Rennie said in a statement.
"There's a lot of history and pride tied up in it, and every Test against the Wallabies carries real weight for us.
"We have huge respect for this Australian side and the way they have been playing. We know we'll need to be at our best.
"We've been on the road for the last eight games, so the boys are rapt to be home and really looking forward to running out at Eden Park one last time this year."
