All Blacks committed to fielding the best team for Test

NEW ZEALAND coach Graham Henry has resisted the temptation to make wholesale changes for the third and final Test against the British and Irish Lions at Eden Park on Saturday, even though the series is already wrapped up.

The All Blacks have made two enforced changes through injury, with Canterbury full-back Leon MacDonald replacing second Test hero Dan Carter at fly-half while Wellington's Conrad Smith replaces Aaron Mauger in midfield. Prop Carl Hayman and hooker Anton Oliver were not considered due to injury.

On the reserve bench, lock James Ryan replaces Jono Gibbes while Luke McAlister comes in for Ma'a Nonu.
