Fiji born Marika Koroibete will once again start for the Wallabies while Filipo Daugunu has been dropped to the bench.

Reece Hodge will wear the No.10 jersey for the second time in his international career replacing Noah Lolesio who drops to the bench.

Regular fly-half James O'Connor is still not 100% fit after suffering an injury in Bledisloe II at Eden Park last month.

Brumbies outside backs Tom Banks and Tom Wright, who will make his debut on the right-wing, have been called in for Dane Haylett-Petty and Daugunu.

Meanwhile, former Queensland Reds captain James Slipper will become the 13th Wallaby to play 100th Tests.

Other players included in the Wallabies team are Allan Alaalatoa, Rob Simmons, Matt Philip, Lachie Swinton, Michael Hooper (c), Nic White, Hunter Paisami and Jordan Petaia.

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at 8.45 pm Saturday in Brisbane.
