KEY POINTS:
Auckland have been forced to shuffle their lineup for the Air NZ Cup/Ranfurly Shield rugby match against Wellington in Auckland on Saturday.
Wing Joe Rokocoko and first five-eighth Lachie Munro will not help Auckland in their shield defence after being injured against Bay of Plenty last weekend.
Watisoni Lotawa and All Blacks utility Isaia Toeava were today named in their place, while coach Shane Howarth has held off making a decision over openside flanker Daniel Braid.
Braid hurt a shoulder against Bay of Plenty, and Howarth today bracketed him with Onasa'i Auva'a.
The only other change to Auckland's starting 15 comes at prop where Nick White will start in place of Charlie Faumuina.
Auckland
Jamie Helleur, Watisoni Lotawa, Ben Atiga (captain), Benson Stanley, David Smith, Isaia Toeava, Taniela Moa, Peter Saili, Daniel Braid/Onosa'i Auva'a, Dean Budd, Jay Williams, Stan Haukinima, Nick White, Tom McCartney, Paea Fa'anunu.
Reserves: Pauliasi Manu, Charlie Faumuina, Anthony Elisala, Daniel Braid/Onosa'i Auva'a, Grayson Hart, Winston Stanley, Simon Munro.
