Kiwis coach David Kidwell has given four international rookies the chance to wear the black-and-white jersey in the New Zealand's clash with Scotland on Saturday morning (NZ).
One-test Kiwi Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (21) has been named at fullback in place of Jordan Kahu, joining debutant David Fusitu'a (22), who takes a wing spot, in the starting line-up.
Three other rookies - Te Maire Martin (21), James Fisher-Harris (20) and Joseph Tapine (22) have been named on the bench for their first appearances in an international test match.
The line-up named today means all 24 members of the touring squad will have played during the tournament, confirming Kidwell's rotation strategy.
"It's an exciting opportunity for these young players," said Kidwell. "They are hungry, their effort and attitude in training has shown me that, and they'll bring a lot of energy."
