All Blacks Brodie Retallick has also been left out due to injury for the Bledisloe series.

Asafo Aumua, Karl Tu'inukuafe, Shannon Frizell, Dalton Papalii and Josh Ioane are the unfortunate five to be dropped.

Scott Barrett has returned to the squad after overcoming the hand injury sustained while playing for the Crusaders.

Hansen says the Bledisloe Cup is the second most important trophy for them, and they are really looking forward to the next two Tests coming up.

The All Blacks play Wallabies in Perth next Saturday before finishing the series with a Test in Auckland on August 17.
