Legendary All Black TJ Perenara starts at scrum-half. The 30-year-old Wellington and Hurricanes star made his All Blacks debut in 2014. Since then, he has won 78 caps and was part of the squad that won the 2015 Rugby World Cup.
Damien McKenzie partners Perenara in the half-back line, with the 40 times capped All Blacks fly-half starting at 10. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is another All Blacks cap winner having made his debut during this summer's Test series with Ireland.
Maori All Blacks regular Shaun Stevenson starts on the wing, while Ruben Love takes the full-back position.
