AUS U20 change six
Ryan McCauley and Harry Hockings return to the second row while Melbourne Rebels hooker, Jordan Uelese comes into starting side having joined the squad earlier this week.
Liam Wright, who played off the bench against Fiji, moves back to flanker to round out an all Queensland back row alongside Angus Scott-Young and Reece Hewat.
Cron said: "New Zealand have been in good form throughout the competition with a very cohesive attack which was on display against Samoa and Fiji.
"We need to focus on our processes and execution of roles.
"The boys are starting to come together as a group and develop combinations within the squad so I am looking forward to those boys getting on again tomorrow.
"It doesn’t come any better than a Trans-Tasman match at any level of Rugby and this group will wear that gold jersey with pride when they represent Australia."
