The All Blacks may feel the need to get a better look at Victor Vito, who has only been sighted with 24 minutes off the bench against the Springboks at Ellis Park.
Vito is probably the best alternative to Kieran Read at No 8, and the 28‑year‑old may be given a chance to step up on the blindside.
All Blacks assistant coach Ian Foster said they are balancing that with the plan to give everyone the best opportunity for selection later in the year.
The All Blacks will play the Wallabies at 7.35pm Saturday.
