Richie Mo'unga to start at fly-half for New Zealand

New Zealand head coach Ian Foster has made four changes to the starting XV for the second round of the Rugby Championship against South Africa to be played at Ellis Park on Saturday.

Richie Mo'unga has been handed the kicking responsibility with Beauden Barrett, who suffered a collision in the previous game dropping to the bench.

There is a change in the back row with Shannon Frizell coming in the place of Akira Ioane while props Tyrel Lomax and Ethan de Groot replace Angus Ta'avao and George Bower respectively.

Uncapped Fletcher Newell could make his debut for the All Blacks when he comes off the bench.

"Belief and confidence remain high in our group, which is working incredibly hard this week," Foster said.

"Playing at Ellis Park is always a special occasion for any All Black team, and this weekend will be no different."

New Zealand XV: 15 Jordie Barrett, 14 Will Jordan, 13 Rieko Ioane, 12 David Havili, 11 Caleb Clarke, 10 Richie Mo’unga, 9 Aaron Smith, 8 Ardie Savea, 7 Sam Cane (c), 6 Shannon Frizell, 5 Scott Barrett, 4 Sam Whitelock, 3 Tyrel Lomax, 2 Samisoni Taukei’aho, 1 Ethan de Groot
