Club teammate Samipeni Finau joins him in the starting side at flanker whilst Dallas McLeod will come off the bench.
Captain Sam Cane returns after missing the opening Test at the MCG with a neck complaint.
“Despite having won both the Rugby Championship and the Bledisloe Cup last week, this Test is special for us as we finish this stage of our preparation for later in the year,” said Foster.
“It is our last chance to play in front of our fans and, even with some changes, it is a big opportunity for us to take another step forward as a team. We can’t wait.”
The Test marks the last on home soil for several All Blacks, including hometown hero Aaron Smith.
Smith comes off the bench alongside experienced hooker Dane Coles, with Richie Mo'unga named on the bench.
This allows Damian McKenzie to start alongside Finlay Christie in the halves.
Crusaders duo Fletcher Newell and Leicester Fainga’anuku have overcome their respective injuries to start.
Newell slots into the front-row, with Tamaiti Williams earning his first start after debuting against South Africa.
Fainga’anuku joins Stevenson and Will Jordan in the back three, with Jordan reverting to fullback after his strong performance last week
