Canes Duo In, Naholo Stays

Hurricanes pair Jordie Barrett and Ngani Laumape have won surprise inclusions for the second Bledisloe Cup Test in Auckland, creating an All Blacks record in the process.

Coach Steve Hansen was forced into both changes following injuries to Rieko Ioane (hamstring) and inside centre Ryan Crotty (concussion) during the 38-13 hammering of Australia in Sydney.

Ioane was expected to make way for specialist winger Nehe Milner-Skudder but Hansen has restored the raw talent of 21-year-old Jordie Barrett at fullback, prompting a back three shuffle.

Ben Smith shifts to the right wing, pushing in-form Highlanders teammate Waisake Naholo, 27, to the left, creating the oldest combined wing pairing in All Blacks Test history. Smith, 32, is the oldest winger.

The only other change to Hansen’s squad is on the bench, where prop Ofa Tuungafasi returns from a rib injury to replace last week’s debutant Tim Perry

Hansen said the Wallabies will fight desperately at an Eden Park venue that has become a graveyard for them since 1986.

“We know that there’ll be a massive response from Australia following their performance last week,” Hansen said.

“Not only are we excited by this challenge, but we’re looking forward to responding ourselves with a better performance.” bench. Loosehead Sio has played 46 tests.

Jack Maddocks will earn his first test start on the right wing with Melbourne Rebels fullback Dane Haylett-Petty to wear the number 15 jersey in the absence of the injured Israel Folau (ankle).

Maddocks scored on debut in Sydney, the first Australian to score on debut when playing from the bench since Taqele Naiyaravoro in September 2015 against the United States. Brumbies pair Folau Faingaa and Tom Banks are in line for their test debuts after being named amongst the reserves, in what will be Cheika’s 50th test as coach of Australia. Australia haven’t won in New Zealand since August 2001, when the Wallabies beat the All Blacks 23-15 in Dunedin.
