New Zealand have dropped their front row for Saturday's test against France and have reinstated the trio who played in the 15-13 loss to England.
Greg Somerville, Anton Oliver and Dave Hewett, axed from the side that beat Wales 55-3 last Saturday, take their place in the pack.
Prop Kees Meeuws and hooker Keven Mealamu are relegated to the bench with Carl Hoeft missing out altogether.
Richie McCaw returns at openside flanker in place of Marty Holah while Mils Muliaina is retained at fullback in place of Leon MacDonald.
MacDonald withdrew from the matches against England and Wales because of the concussion he sustained in the Super 12 final a month ago.
