Beauden Barrett will start from the pivotal position on Saturday when the All Blacks take on the Wallabies, the Bledisloe Cup already secured for a 22nd straight year.
New Zealand will be packed with experience at Wellington's Sky Stadium, with all but one of the run-on team - blindside flanker Wallace Sititi - with at least 20 Tests.
Former captain Sam Cane, who will earn his 100th cap, and hometown hero TJ Perenara, back in the XV for Cortez Ratima, will make their last international appearances in New Zealand.
Both are off to play club rugby in Japan next season, making them ineligible to wear a black shirt.
McKenzie will start on the bench.

The All Blacks defeated Australia 31-28 last Saturday in Sydney and are firm favourites to back up their road win with a home success given the Wallabies have not beaten the Kiwis in New Zealand since 2001.
However, they cannot with the Rugby Championship after an inconsistent run in the southern hemisphere championship.
Robertson's side has lost twice to South Africa and a home Test to Argentina to sit third in the standings - above only the hapless Australia.
