Malakai Fekitoa will add a jolt of "no‑fear attitude" to camp All Blacks ahead of Saturday's British and Irish Lions Test series decider, according to Highlanders teammate Aaron Smith.
The 25‑year‑old Fekitoa was drafted into the All Blacks squad on Sunday in anticipation of Sonny Bill Williams' suspension for his second‑Test red card.
The versatile Anton Lienert‑Brown is likely to retain a midfield spot, but Hansen must choose between Fekitoa at centre or rookie second‑five specialist Ngani Laumape, who made a sound second‑Test debut.
The uncapped Jack Goodhue is also a midfield option.
The All Blacks will meet the Lions at 7.35pm Saturday.
