Kiwis: Shaun Johnson and Brandon Smith return to the Kiwis side after missing last week's win over Great Britain. Kieran Foran (shoulder) and Jahrome Hughes drop out of the 17. Kenny Bromwich is expecting the birth of his second child and is out of the side, with Corey Harawira-Naera starting in the pack and Kevin Proctor added to the bench.

Lions: Great Britain winger Zak Hardaker is out of the Lions team to face New Zealand in the second Test in Christchurch on Saturday. The news is another blow to the wing stocks of Wayne Bennett's side following the loss of Ryan Hall following the first Test. With Hardaker to miss the match with a shoulder injury, Lions coach Wayne Bennett said regular five-eighth Blake Austin would start on the wing.
