The All Blacks have shuffled their backline ahead of Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against the Springboks in Cape Town.

Playmaker Beauden Barrett, who started at fullback in last weekend's Test at Ellis Park, drops down to the bench with Will Jordan moving from right wing to the No 15 position.

Speedster Sevu Reece comes in to take Jordan's No 14 jersey.

Mark Tele'a also starts at left wing in place of Caleb Clarke, who scored two tries in New Zealand's 31-27 loss last weekend. Clarke misses out due to a back injury.
