A knee injury to senior centre Anton Lienert-Brown has forced the All Blacks into a backline reshuffle for the second Bledisloe Cup Test at Eden Park on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Lienert-Brown took a knock in the 33-25 first Test win last weekend<\/a> and has been replaced by Rieko Ioane in midfield.<\/p>\n

Ioane, who played on the wing last weekend, will partner David Havili in a new-look centre pairing, as Will Jordan returns from his own injury to start on the right flank.<\/p>\n

Sevu Reece has been switched to the left wing after scoring a try on the right last weekend.<\/p>\n

All Blacks coach Ian Foster has named the same starting forward pack while lock Scott Barrett has recovered from illness to take his place on the bench.<\/p>\n

Veteran halfback TJ Perenara is also listed in the reserves in place of Brad Weber.<\/p>\n

\"Hooper's<\/p>\n

"We're all excited to be returning to Eden Park for the second Bledisloe Cup Test," Foster said.<\/p>\n

"It's been a very forward looking week.<\/p>\n

"We were delighted with the result last weekend and obviously had some things that we had to work on this week so that has kept us focused.<\/p>\n

\"SBW's<\/p>\n

"We know that Australia will be disappointed with the result and will lift.<\/p>\n

"It's a do or die game for them.<\/p>\n

"But the Bledisloe Cup means a lot to us.<\/p>\n

\"Bizarre<\/p>\n

"It's an historic trophy and it's easy for people to take it for granted based on results in recent years, but throughout history it has been a hard cup to win, so it's hugely important."<\/p>\n

The Wallabies will name their team later today.<\/p>\n
