Australia coach Les Kiss has retained Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii on the wing and selected Isaac Henry at outside center for Saturday's Bledisloe Cup opener against New Zealand at Eden Park. Henry replaces the suspended Hunter Paisami in the only starting change from the lineup that defeated South Africa 42-38 in Perth. Len Ikitau shifts to inside center after passing a fitness test.
New Zealand enters the match facing a severe injury crisis, with fly-half Richie Mo'unga and winger Fehi Fineanganofo ruled out on Thursday alongside captain Ardie Savea and several other regulars. In response, All Blacks coach Dave Rennie shifted Damian McKenzie to fly-half and recalled Beauden Barrett to fullback.
