Veteran Beauden Barrett was recalled to the New Zealand team named on Thursday to face Australia in the Rugby Championship as All Blacks head coach Scott Robertson made four changes.
Barrett, 33, who has played 130 Tests, was dropped from the starting side for the loss to South Africa in Cape Town.
He comes in at fullback against the Wallabies in Sydney on Saturday, replacing Will Jordan who switches to the wing.
The back three combination of Barrett, Jordan and Caleb Clarke ran riot when the All Blacks thrashed Argentina 42-10 in Auckland last month.
'We felt it was the best mix, the best balance for us to put Beauden to fullback and Will on the wing,' Robertson told reporters.
