Barrett, Mounga and Wiliams set to take the field against Springboks

The All Blacks are mixing experience with experimentation for Saturday's Rugby Championship clash with the Springboks in Wellington with both Beauden Barrett and Richie Mo'unga named to start.

It's not the first time coach Steve Hansen has opted for a dual playmaker system in the backline having implemented the system last year with Barrett and Damian McKenzie.

Barrett will don the No.15 jersey this Saturday, leaving Mo'unga to pair up with TJ Perenara in the halves.

The adjustment sees regular fullback Ben Smith move to the right wing while Rieko Ioane slots in for Jordie Barrett, who drops out of the 23‑man squad altogether after a tough performance against the Pumas in last week's 20‑16 win in Buenos Aires.
