(Reuters) -Richie Mo'unga will be the All Blacks' starting flyhalf against Australia for the first Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park on Saturday but loose forward Shannon Frizell has been dropped after a court appearance for assault.

Mo'unga's retention of the number 10 jersey consigns Beauden Barrett to the bench for a second straight test following last month's 60-13 thrashing of Fiji in Hamilton which sealed the series 2-0.
