All Blacks coach Ian Foster believes they've achieved two purposes with their squad for the second Bledisloe Cup test in Dunedin

12 starting changes have been made for Saturday's test against Australia.

That includes test debuts for Shaun Stevenson on the right wing and Chiefs team-mate Samipeni Finau at blindside flanker.

Will Jordan gets a crack as starting fullback for the first time - while Damian McKenzie returns at first-five - outside Blues halfback Finlay Christie.

Foster explains the rationale behind their 23.



Leicester Fainga'anuku is back at left wing - Sam Whitelock and Brodie Retallick are the starting locks - with prop Tamaiti Williams named for his maiden test start.

Utility back Dallas McLeod is a possible third debutant on the bench.
