That concludes our coverage of the All Blacks' team naming.

However, there'll still be plenty to come from the Herald Sport team over the coming days, as we build towards Wellington.

Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you again soon!

The back-three reshuffle means Will Jordan returns to the wing, where he's played most of his tests, as Damian McKenzie takes the reins at fullback.

Against France to start the year, and then against South Africa last week, McKenzie has already had plenty of runs at fullback, so don't expect too many teething issues at the Cake Tin. 

Interesting move to swap Fletcher Newell and Tyrel Lomax.

Newell has hardly put a foot wrong in Lomax's absence, but has ultimately made way for the world's best tighthead.

It does, though, reunite Newell with Tamaiti Williams on the bench, with the pair needing to improve on the bench's scrum this week.

This is a big week for Noah Hotham.

The 22-year-old makes his first test start, having been out of action with a high ankle sprain.

Now that he's fit, though, coach Scott Robertson and assistant coach Scott Hansen have wasted no time in rushing him back into the starting XV.

Both of his previous test caps have come off the bench, but now he's the main man at No 9.

“It is an awesome opportunity to face South Africa in front of a sell-out home crowd for a second week in a row," the All Blacks coach says. 

"Every test match has its own story line and this one will be another passionate battle. 

“We are excited to inject Leroy into the backline this week and watch what he creates with his speed and skillset. He has trained hard and put himself into the position where he is ready to perform on Saturday night. 

"It is a special occasion for him and his family.” 

Brodie McAlister comes into the reserves, and will earn his second test cap after his debut against France earlier this year.

Ruben Love is the other inclusion from last week, and will likely cover fullback, with McKenzie to deputise for Beauden Barrett if needed. 

Wow. Six changes to the starting side, then!

As expected, Taukei'aho comes in for Taylor, and Leroy Carter makes his debut on the left wing, with Rieko Ioane out of the side altogether. 

Elsewhere, Noah Hotham is back, and takes Finlay Christie's starting spot at halfback.

Tyrel Lomax comes back into the starting side, and swaps out with Fletcher Newell. 

Will Jordan moves from fullback to the right wing, taking over from the injured Emoni Narawa.

And to cap it all off, Damian McKenzie returns to the No 15 jersey, vacated by Jordan.

Phew.
