McKenzie replaces Canterbury�s Casey Robertson as one of nine changes, including two positional switches, to the starting line-up that beat Scotland in the opening match of the Canada Cup last week.



Auckland midfielder Hannah Myers moves from centre to fullback in place of Stacey Lene, who is on the bench. Canterbury�s Amiria Marsh returns to the starting line-up for the first time since 2003 and will wear the No 13 jersey in what will be her 10th match for the Black Ferns.



In other changes, Hawke�s Bay�s Amy Williams will make her Black Ferns debut on the right wing in place of Otago�s Claire Richardson, Auckland�s Nicole Borthwick replaces provincial teammate Anna Richards at first-five, Canterbury�s Melissa Ruscoe moves from lock to the blindside flank to make way for Aucklander Victoria Heighway in the second row, Rochelle Martin comes in for Auckland teammate Justine Lavea at openside, while Waikato�s Mel Ngatai replaces Otago prop Kamila Wihongi in the front row.



Shannon Willoughby, who started in the No 6 jersey last week, moves to the bench.



In explaining the changes, Black Ferns coach Jed Rowlands said: �We were always going to give everyone a chance to play. The game against Canada will be exciting for young Amy Williams in particular and that is part of what this tour is also about � giving the young players international experience.�
