The All Blacks were worthy 33-16 winners in the first Test against the world champion Springboks, which took them to the top of the ‌World Rugby rankings ahead of the second game in the four-match series.

Carter comes into the side with Moorby dropping to the bench. ‌Carter makes up a back three with wing Will Jordan and fullback Damian McKenzie.

Ruben Love continues at flyhalf with Beauden Barrett again not named in the matchday 23.

Other concussion-enforced changes see George ‌Bower replace Ethan ⁠de Groot at prop and Simon Parker come into the side at flank, with Tupou Vaa'i moving to lock in place of Josh Lord.

Ardie Savea will again captain the side with a 5-3 split between forwards and backs on the bench.

"While we were happy with the win last week, I think

both teams will be better this weekend,” coach Dave Rennie said. "We’ve played ⁠four tests this year and are still growing as a group. I’m really excited about the competition for places and the performances of the squad across the matches here ⁠in South Africa and we’re really looking forward to this weekend."

Saturday’s Test kicks off at 17:00.
