The All Blacks have made a change at tighthead prop for Saturday's second Test against the Lions.
Greg Somerville starts in place of Carl Hayman, who is ruled out by an infected toe, and Campbell Johnstone moves on to the bench.
"Carl's been on a course of antibiotics this week to deal with an infection in his foot," said All Blacks coach Graham Henry. "He's responding to treatment, but it's a slow process. We were hopeful he'd come right in time to play this weekend, but that's not the case. We are fortunate to have a player of Greg's quality who can step in."
