Prop Tyrel Lomax has been passed fit and named in the New Zealand team to take on Ireland in Saturday's Rugby World Cup quarter-final in Paris.
The tighthead suffered a knee injury in the Pool A win over Uruguay last Thursday but has recovered to take his place.
Captain Sam Cane is joined by Ardie Savea and Shannon Frizell in the starting loose forward trio.
It will mark the first time they have run out together since the team's 35-20 win over South Africa in Auckland.
Meanwhile, loosehead prop Ethan de Groot has returned from suspension to join Codie Taylor and Lomax in the front row. Their last start together was in the team’s 38-7 win over Australia in Melbourne.
After a hat-trick of tries against Namibia, Leicester Fainga’anuku has been selected on the left wing and will feature alongside Beauden Barrett and Will Jordan in the back three, while Mark Telea misses out.
Winger Telea, who scored two tries against France, also breached team protocols, the team confirmed, and head coach Ian Foster said it was not serious but enough of an offence to prevent him from being selected.
"We are where we want to be," said Foster. "World Cup quarter-finals are so exciting for many reasons, and we know the pressure they bring.
"We have had a solid week of preparation and know that it is now about trusting the work we have done and going out to play. We feel the massive support we have had from Kiwis both at home and here in France. We greatly appreciate it.
"We have huge respect for Ireland who are number one in the world for a reason," added Foster. "We are excited by the opportunity we have in front of us and expect to be tested in many ways. That is what World Cups are about."
