All Blacks coach Ian Foster had little choice but to shred the team-sheet and start again for the test against Argentina in Brisbane.

The condensed Rugby Championship format, which requires the All Blacks to play five tests in as many weeks, motivated coach Foster to make mass changes to the side that beat the Pumas 39-0 on the Gold Coast last Sunday.

Eleven amendments to the starting 15, including Ardie Savea back as captain and starting at openside flanker, and a fresh bench are the major features of the 23 named for the rematch against the Pumas.

The All Blacks will face Argentina at 10.05pm tomorrow while the Wallabies face South Africa at 7.05pm.
