Beauden Barrett will become New Zealand's 11th Test centurion this Saturday against Wales.
The Blues out-half will make his 100th appearance for the All Blacks from the start, when they face Wales at the Principality Stadium.
The 30-year-old, who made his Test debut against Ireland in 2012, joins a group of 10 others who have brought up a century of caps for New Zealand, among them captain Sam Whitelock.
"It's a very special time for Beauden and his family and it's also a special time for this team and its legacy," said All Black head coach Ian Foster.
"He's a big part of this team, he's a key leader, he's captained the All Blacks, he's vice captain on this tour and he's an influencer on and off the park.
"I can't speak more highly about his contribution as a person to the black jersey. The chance to play his 100th Test at this stadium against Wales is really special."
Foster has picked an experienced side for the meeting with the depleted Welsh.
It's arguably a first choice front row of Joe Moody, Nepo Laulala and hooker Codie Taylor, while Brodie Retallick locks down alongside Whitelock.
Ardie Savea, who captained New Zealand during the Rugby Championship, is included at number eight, either side of Ethan Blackadder and Dalton Papalii.
TJ Perenara starts alongside his former Hurricanes teammate Barrett in the halfbacks, with David Havili and Anton Lienert-Brown in the centre.
Rieko Ioane and Will Jordan are on the wings and Jordie Barrett is at fullback.
Foster said: "It’s exciting to be back here in the North, albeit in very different circumstances.
"The All Blacks have always loved touring North, these Test matches are a big part of our history as a rugby team and it’s been three years since we played in Europe, so there’s a real sense of excitement.
"What a better place to start than at a packed-out stadium here in Cardiff."
