The Maori All Blacks have selected nine New Zealand internationals in a strong side for Saturday's clash with the British and Irish Lions.
The Maori, the only side to beat the Lions outside of the Tests on their last tour of New Zealand in 2005, play the tourists in Rotorua on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 1.
The backline includes three of the most exciting of the younger generation of All Blacks backs - Nehe Milner-Skudder, Damian McKenzie and Reiko Ioane, along with centre Charlie Ngatai and scrum-half Tawera Kerr-Barlow.
James Lowe, the full-back moving from the Chiefs to Leinster at the end of the season, has also got the nod.
Veteran loose forward Liam Messam (43 Tests) adds strength to the pack along with flanker Elliott Dixon and prop Kane Hames, with hooker Hika Elliott on the bench.
"We've named a strong group who all have good clarity on how we want to play this match against the Lions," coach Colin Cooper said.
He indicated the Maori will be looking for a free-flowing game with the selection of Waikato Chiefs full-back McKenzie at fly-half, relegating Ihaia West, who scored the Blues match-winning try over the Lions last week, to the bench.
"We feel Damian will suit the game plan that we want to play, from the number 10 position," Cooper added.
Maori All Blacks: 15 James Lowe, 14 Nehe Milner-Skudder, 13 Matt Proctor, 12 Charlie Ngatai, 11 Rieko Ioane, 10 Damian McKenzie, 9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow, 1 Kane Hames, 2 Ash Dixon (c), 3 Ben May, 4 Joe Wheeler, 5 Tom Franklin, 6 Akira Ioane, 7 Elliot Dixon, 8 Liam Messam.
Replacements: 16 Hikawera Elliot, 17 Chris Eves, 18 Marcel Renata, 19 Leighton Price, 20 Kara Pryor, 21 Bryn Hall, 22 Ihaia West, 23 Rob Thompson.
