Sam Whitelock will make his 100th test start for New Zealand in the match at the weekend. Codie Taylor starts at hooker, while Scott Barrett starts in the second row, with Patrick Tuipulotu moving to the bench. There's no place for Aaron Smith in the team to play the Wallabies at the weekend. He's keen, he's ready and to have his first test start is pretty special. He's settled in really, really well and he's got a calmness about him.
