Renounced number seven Richie McCaw skippers the side, which also contains Leon MacDonald, Sitiveni Sivivatu, and Keven Mealamu - and two debutants.

Keven Mealamu will be the focus of attention during today's clash.

Mealamu was the "second man" involved with Tana Umaga in the injury that ended Brian O'Driscoll's Lions tour.
