 Delany was the second highest points-scorer in this year's Air NZ Cup
|
Mike Delany will replace the banned Dan Carter at fly-half as one of three new caps in the All Blacks side to face Italy in Milan on Saturday.
Delany is preferred to Stephen Donald at number 10 as coach Graham Henry makes 12 changes in all from the side that beat Wales 19-12 in Cardiff.
Only Corey Jane, who moves to full-back from wing, and props Wyatt Crockett and Neemia Tialata, remain in the team.
Centre Tamati Ellison and wing Ben Smith will make their Test debuts.
Hooker Corey Flynn, locks Tom Donnelly and Anthony Boric, plus an all-changed back row of Liam Messam, Tanerau Latimer and Rodney So'oialo, who leads the side, complete the pack.
Wing Sitiveni Sivivatu, centre Luke McAlister and scrum-half Andy Ellis also come into the backline.
There is plenty of experience on the bench if required with usual captain Richie McCaw, Mils Muliaina and Andrew Hore among the replacements.
Carter, who was likely to be rested anyway, was suspended for a week after being found guilty of a high tackle on Wales scrum-half Martin Roberts last Saturday.
New Zealand team: Corey Jane, Ben Smith, Tamati Ellison, Luke McAlister, Sitiveni Sivivatu; Mike Delany, Andy Ellis; Wyatt Crockett, Corey Flynn, Neemia Tialata, Tom Donnelly, Anthony Boric, Liam Messam, Tanerau Latimer, Rodney So'oialo (capt).
Replacements: Andrew Hore, John Afoa, Jason Eaton, Richie McCaw, Jimmy Cowan, Stephen Donald, Mils Muliaina.
