New Zealand coach Graham Henry overhauled his team again Wednesday for this weekend's rugby union test against England at Twickenham.
The team for Saturday features 13 personnel changes to the one that beat Italy 20-6 last weekend, and contains half the lineup that won 19-12 at Wales the week before.
Dan Carter is set to become the All Blacks' all-time leading scorer when he returns from suspension to play at flyhalf, with only winger Sitiveni Sivivatu surviving from the backs that played in Milan.
Carter needs just two points, the equivalent of one conversion, to overtake Andrew Mehrtens' tally of 967.
Ben Smith drops out of the squad entirely and is replaced on the right wing by 20-year-old Zac Guildford, who made his debut against Wales two weeks ago. Mils Muliaina returns at fullback, with Conrad Smith and Ma'a Nonu the centers.
"It doesn't get much bigger than England at Twickenham," Henry said. "It will be another fantastic challenge for the All Blacks. We are focussed on preparing well this week and looking forward to playing a determined England side."
The All Blacks have won 25 of their 32 matches against England, taking last year's fixture 32-6.
The only New Zealand forward to play consecutive weekends will be lock Tom Donnelly, who makes his fifth second-row appearance alongside veteran Brad Thorn.
Tighthead prop Owen Franks will play alongside hooker Andrew Hore and openside Tony Woodcock, who will be playing his 60th test.
Henry has yet to decide whether Corey Flynn or Aled de Malmanche will be on the bench as replacement hooker. Aled de Malmanche broke off his vacation Wednesday to join the squad as cover for Flynn, who has a hamstring strain.
John Afoa, Anthony Boric, Jerome Kaino, Andy Ellis, Stephen Donald and Tamati Ellison, who made his debut against Italy, are the other replacements.
