New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has made 12 changes to his team to face Namibia in the Pool C clash at the Olympic Park on Friday.
Only Sam Whitelock, Julian Savea and Nehe Milner‑Skudder retained their position in the starting line‑up that faced Argentina at Wembley last week.
TJ Perenara and Beauden Barrett are the half‑back pairing while Sonny Bill Williams and Malakai Fekitoa start at centre, with Colin Slade at full‑back.
Elsewhere there are starts for Victor Vito, Sam Cane, Liam Messam, Luke Romano, Charlie Faumuina, Codie Taylor and Ben Franks.
Cane is captain.
If Richie McCaw comes on as a replacement, it will be his eighteenth RWC outing, breaking the record of seventeen he now shares with Sean Fitzpatrick.
The All Blacks will take on Namibia at 7am this Friday.
