Having Olmstead back healthy means Jones can put Lucas Rumball and Matt Heaton together in the same back row. Mike Sheppard, who started on the flank against Italy has moved to the bench against New Zealand.

“We’re in good shape,” Jones said from the team’s hotel.

Jones has swapped his props, handing starts to Djustice Sears-Duru and Cole Keith.

Hooker Eric Howard, captain and No. 8 Tyler Ardron, halfbacks Gord McRorie and Peter Nelson, wings DTH van der Merwe and Jeff Hassler and full-back Pat Parfrey all retain their spots.

Jones said while everyone knows the monumental challenge in front of his team, the target for his squad was simple.

“We want to earn their respect,” he said. “That’s not by swapping jerseys at the end of the game, it’s about making sure they get a tough game.”

“They capitalize on your errors, the game now at the top level, you’re trying to manufacture some errors and whoever capitalizes on those errors the best are the best, and New Zealand do that better than anyone in the world,” he went on. “We want to be tight with our game, we don’t want to be too loose, we want to go in and have a crack, I’m sure there’s some tries in us. we’re not afraid to have a go, in term of losing the ball, but of course we’ve got to play in the right areas and we believe we have a game that can cause New Zealand some concern.”

On the bench, Andrew Quattrin replaces Benoit Piffero as the reserve hooker, while Phil Mack replaces Jamie Mackenzie as the backup scrum half. With Hearn moving into the starting lineup — he was on the bench on Thursday — Paris comes into the match-day 23 for the first time in a year.
