Dave Rennie is back in Scotland this week

New Zealand have named an experienced starting line-up for Saturday's Nations Championship meeting with Scotland at Murrayfield.

Hooker Codie Taylor captains the side with Ethan de Groot and Fletcher Newell making up the front row while Taylor's fellow centurion Beauden Barrett is at full-back.

Test veteran Scott Barrett is one of the locks selected, partnering Fabian Holland, while Tupou Vaa'i, Peter Lakai and Wallace Sititi take up the back-row roles.

Centre Jordie Barrett and Damian McKenzie, both with more than 80 caps each, feature along with outside centre Quinn Tupaea and wing Will Jordan.

Josh Moorby on the wing is the only player in the XV with fewer than 10 caps but there are less experienced options on the bench in Christian Lio-Willie, Anton Segner and Timoci Tavatavanawai.

The All Blacks, coached by former Glasgow Warriors boss Dave Rennie, have never lost to Scotland in 33 Tests.

Replacements: Asafo Aumua, George Bower, Pasilio Tosi, Christian Lio-Willie, Anton Segner, Cortez Ratima, Timoci Tavatavanawai, Rieko Ioane.
