The Hurricanes and Taranaki 15 has nudged out Damian McKenzie from the run-on side among five changes from the side that won at Eden Park three weeks ago.
Foster says the biggest thing they want from Barrett is quality decision-making.
Brother Beauden gets the nod at 10, with Scott Barrett, Brad Weber and Anton Lienert-Brown all back in the run on side and Rieko Ioane moving back to the left wing.
The Wallabies will start Samu Kerevi at second five, his first test in two years after moving to Japan.
Coach Dave Rennie says he's ready.
Folau Fainga'a starts at hooker, while Izack Rodda will cover lock from the bench after returning from France.
