Beauden Barrett benched as All Blacks shake up backline for Bok Test in Cape Town

The All Blacks have shuffled their backline ahead of Saturday's Rugby Championship Test against the Springboks in Cape Town.

Playmaker Beauden Barrett, who started at fullback in last weekend's Test at Ellis Park, drops down to the bench with Will Jordan moving from right wing to the No 15 position.

Speedster Sevu Reece comes in to take Jordan's No 14 jersey.

Mark Tele'a also starts at left wing in place of Caleb Clarke, who scored two tries in New Zealand's 31-27 loss last weekend. Clarke misses out due to a back injury.

There's also a change at scrumhalf where Cortez Ratima replaces TJ Perenara, who drops down to the bench.

Up front, there's a solitary change with Wallace Sititi taking the No 6 jersey from Ethan Blackadder, who is struggling with a sore hamstring.

New Zealand coach Scott Robertson said they were looking to bolster their bench with some experience.

"TJ and Beauden will add significant experience and leadership when they run out and the 23 selected will put in a performance our fans both here in Cape Town and at home in New Zealand will be proud of," the coach said.

Saturday's clash at Cape Town Stadium kicks off at 17:00.
