Two-time World Rugby Player of the Year Beauden Barrett has retained his grip on the All Blacks No.10 jersey for his 100th test against Wales on Sunday.

But the line-up for the showdown with the reigning Six Nations champions has no room for incumbent captain Sam Cane and veteran hooker Dane Coles, as they continue their return from injury.

Fiji born winger Sevu Reece has been included on the bench.

Other players that will start for the All Blacks are captain Sam Whitelock, Jordie Barrett, Will Jordan, TJ Perenara, Ardie Savea, Brodie Retallick, Rieko Ioane and David Havili.

The All Blacks face Wales at 4.15am Sunday.
