Beauden Barrett has been picked ahead of Damian McKenzie at fly-half for New Zealand’s meeting with England on Saturday.

Barrett started at 10 only once in the Rugby Championship earlier this year, with McKenzie steering the side from stand-off for the first five games.

Barrett, a former two-time World Player of the Year, spent the early part of this year playing for Japanese side Toyota Verblitz as part of a sabbatical agreed with New Zealand Rugby.

Elsewhere, Beauden’s brother Jordie Barrett is back from injury and comes into midfield at the expense of Anton Lienert-Brown, while loose-head prop Tamaiti Williams is one of only three players to keep their places from the warm-up win over Japan.

Cortez Ratima starts at scrum-half with Cam Roigard on the bench alongside McKenzie.

Second row Scott Barrett captains his two brothers and the rest of the side, with Sam Cane and Ardie Savea joined in the back row by Wallace Sititi, who wins his seventh cap.

New Zealand: Jordan; Tele’a, Ioane, J Barrett, Clarke; B Barrett, Ratima; Williams, Taylor, Lomax, S Barrett (capt), Vaa’i, Sititi, Cane, Savea.

Replacements: Aumua, Tu’ungafasi, Tosi, Tuipulotu, Finau, Roigard, Lienart-Brown, McKenzie

England named their team on Tuesday, with Henry Slade included in the centres despite a lack of game time, while the bench contains six forward options and only two backs.

The two sides met twice over the summer with New Zealand edging both Tests, but New Zealand head coach Scott Robertson believes that series win will carry little weight into this weekend’s contest.

“While we have met England twice this year already, four months is a long time in rugby and we know that both teams are different to the ones that met in New Zealand in July,” said the 50-year-old, who took charge in the wake of last year’s Rugby World Cup.

New Zealand finished second in the Rugby Championship, but suffered a 38-30 defeat by Argentina in Wellington before back-to-back losses away to world champions South Africa.
