The All Blacks have named their squad for this weekend's Rugby World Cup semi-final against England in Yokohama with Scott Barrett called in to start in the loose forwards ahead of Sam Cane.
Cane will come off the bench against England after Scott Barrett was promoted to No.6
The All Blacks have tweaked their squad from the one that convincingly beat Ireland 46-14 in the quarter-finals with one change forced due to injury.
Flanker Matt Todd was ruled out of this weekend's game after aggravating a shoulder injury in the quarter-finals which has seen coach Steve Hansen forced to shuffle things around.
So Hansen has opted to move Barrett to the starting blindside flanker position and shift Ardie Savea - who has worn the No.6 jersey for most of the tournament - to openside, which shifts regular No.7 Cane to the bench.
The All Blacks coach said Jones was clever to draw attention to something away from the semi-final.
Joining Cane on the sideline as Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick's new lock cover is Patrick Tuipulotu.
The All Blacks play England at 9:00pm NZT on Saturday.
Kimberlee Downs, Scotty Stevenson and Andrew Saville in Tokyo give their take on the All Blacks v England and Wales v South Africa.
More to come.
