Team News: New Zealand make 10 changes for Georgia game

All Blacks make 10 changes

New Zealand head coach Steve Hansen has made 10 changes ahead of Friday's meeting with Pool C rivals Georgia in Cardiff.

The big news from the squad announcement is a World Cup debut for wing Waisake Naholo, who is fit again after recovering from the cracked fibula he suffered against Argentina in July.

Ma'a Nonu, Colin Slade, Liam Messam and Beauden Barrett are the only four players unavailable due to injuries, and Hansen has recalled Dan Carter at fly-half.

Nehe Milner-Skudder is rested for the game at the Millennium Stadium, but Julian Savea does start for the All Blacks once again.

New Zealand: Wyatt Crockett, Dane Coles, Charlie Faumuina, Brodie Retallick, Samuel Whitelock, Jerome Kaino, Richie McCaw (c), Kieran Read, Aaron Smith, Dan Carter, Julian Savea, Sonny Bill Williams, Conrad Smith, Waisake Naholo, Ben Smith

Replacements: Keven Mealamu, Tony Woodcock, Owen Franks, Victor Vito, Sam Cane, Tawera Kerr-Barlow, TJ Perenara, Malakai Fekitoa
