Rugby – team news:Outhalf Mike Delany will make his New Zealand debut alongside backs Tamati Ellison and Ben Smith in Saturday's test against Italy at Milan's San Siro.
Coach Graham Henry rang the changes today with only Cory Jane, Neemia Tialata and Wyatt Crockett remaining from the starting team that beat Wales 19-12 in Cardiff last weekend.
Captain Richie McCaw will be rested on the bench with number eight Rodney So'oialo taking over as skipper.
"Saturday is important for a lot of people. There is no substitute for this experience, they've got to go through it," said Henry.
Delany plays after outhalf Dan Carter, who was likely to have been rested anyway, was banned for one week for a high tackle against the Welsh.
The Bay of Plenty player has fought off competition from Stephen Donald to secure the number 10 shirt.
"We know what Stephen can do. We don't know what Mike can do at this level," added Henry.
Sitiveni Sivivatu returns from suspension while Smith will play on the other wing and Ellison will start at centre alongside Luke McAlister, who will perform kicking duties in Carter's absence.
So'oialo was looking forward to the 80,000 sell-out crowd at the famous soccer stadium, the biggest attendance in Italian rugby, and also had his eye on Milan's most prized painting.
"I want to go see 'The Last Supper', I've always wanted to see it," he said.
While his captain was dreaming of fine art, Henry was more interested in his appearance later on television show called 'Italy's top model'.
"I didn't realise I was picking Italy's top model. It will be really stimulating, that's for sure," he said.
England manager Martin Johnson, meanwhile, has made four changes for Saturday's clash with Argentina at Twickenham.
Veteran Bath tighthead Duncan Bell, 35, will make his first Test start since 2005 after replacing David Wilson, who injured his neck in last weekend's 18-9 defeat to Australia.
The other three changes are in direct response to England's turgid performance against the Wallabies on with London Irish scrum-half Paul Hodgson awarded his first Test start in place of Danny Care.
The Northampton hooker Dylan Hartley replaces Steve Thompson and James Haskell returns at number eight after both made impressive contributions off the bench.
Leicester's Jordan Crane, who started at number eight last week, has dropped out of the squad altogether with Joe Worsley named among the replacements.
England's injury crisis has opened the door for rookie prop Paul Doran-Jones to be named on the bench after just 266 minutes of Premiership experience for Gloucester.
