Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan has made two changes to his starting XV which helped clinch the Triple Crown by beating England in March for Saturday's first Test against New Zealand at Waikato Stadium.
Ulster flanker Neil Best comes in for his third cap to replace the injured Simon Easterby while Donncha O'Callaghan takes over from Malcolm O'Kelly (groin) in the second row.
Bryan Young and Isaac Boss - the only uncapped players in the 22-man squad - have been included as the replacement prop and scrum-half respectively.
Boss formerly played for the Chiefs and the Hurricanes in his native New Zealand but now represents Ulster and qualifies for Ireland through his grandmother.
South African-born Greg Rawlinson will make his debut for the All Blacks along with Clarke Dermody.
Winger Scott Hamilton, outhalf David Hill and flanker Jerome Kaino could also make their debuts after being named on the substitutes bench.
