Together, the pair replace veterans James O’Connor and Matt Toomua, both of whom have been ruled out of the contest due to injury.

They are joined by fellow newbies and Reds teammates Fraser McReight and Tate McDermott, with both players named on the bench in place of Liam Wright and Jake Gordon.

In total, there have been five changes to the Australian starting lineup, most of which have come in the backline.

Adding to the overhaul in the inside backs, experienced fullback Dane Haylett-Petty has returned to the run-on side after recovering from an adductor injury.

He replaces Tom Banks, who has been dropped from the match day squad entirely. The same can’t be said of youngster Hunter Paisami, who has been demoted to the bench to accomodate for Queensland teammate Jordan Petaia.

Up front, Brumbies captain Allan Alaalatoa will start at tighthead prop, swapping roles with the benched Taniela Tupou as they look to keep their Bledisloe Cup hopes alive.

As for the All Blacks, arguably the most significant alteration comes at No. 8, where international rookie Hoskins Sotutu has come into the side for Ardie Savea, who had missed most of the week leading into this encounter on paternity leave.

That switch is one of three changes in the forward pack, with long-serving lock Sam Whitelock welcomed back into the side in place of Tupou Vaa’i after missing Bledisloe Cup II with concussion issues.

Loosehead prop Joe Moody hasn’t been so fortunate as he continues to work through head injury assessment protocols, paving the way for Karl Tu’inukuafe to don the No. 1 jersey for the first time this year.

The backline remains unchanged, although there is plenty of movement on the bench, with two-test prop Tyrel Lomax replacing Nepo Laulala, who is also on paternity leave, at No. 18.

Further down the pine, Blues loose forward Dalton Papalii vacates the No. 20 jersey following Sotutu’s promotion to the starting team, while Ngani Laumape is in line to make his first test appearance in 14 months after being named at No. 22.

He takes the place of Peter Umaga-Jensen, and will be joined as one of the new faces among the reserves by Rieko Ioane, who takes the No. 23 jersey off Damian McKenzie.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
