Ian Foster made 3 small changes from the team that crushed Argentina.
Ardie Savea, whose wife is about to give birth, is replaced by Hoskins Sotutu.
Shannon Frizell, injured, is replaced by Brodie Retallick (best player in the world 2014).
Scott Barrett therefore slips from the 2nd line to the 3rd wing line.
Despite the criticism, Sam Cane keeps his captain's armband.
