    The 22-year-old comes into the number nine jersey with incumbent Wayde Egan concussed.

    Barnett says Healey adds value.



    Elsewhere, skipper and prop James Fisher-Harris and five-eighth Chanel Harris-Tavita have both succumbed to calf injuries, with Demetric Vaimauga and Te Maire Martin replacing the pair in the starting line-up.

    Centre Kurt Capewell assumes the captaincy.
