The changes bring in players who did not feature in the previous Test against the Springboks.
Cam Roigard and Cortez Ratima return from injury to share halfback duties, while lock Patrick Tuipulotu also comes back from injury, taking a place on the bench. Caleb Clarke will start on the left wing, marking his first All Blacks appearance of the season after recovering from an ankle injury sustained ahead of the second Test in July.
These changes see Leroy Carter move to the right wing for his second Test, Will Jordan shift to fullback, and Damian McKenzie assume the backline impact role. Loose forward Peter Lakai will also make his 2025 debut, earning a spot among the reserves.
The All Blacks will be looking to maintain their dominant record against the Wallabies as they seek to retain the coveted Bledisloe Cup.
