Luke Jacobson will captain the All Blacks for the first time.
"He is highly respected, has a great feel for the game and will lead through his actions,” Rennie said at the team announcement on Sunday.
Hooker Asafo Aumua, loose forward Ethan Blackadder, lock Sam Darry, prop Ollie Norris, halfback Kyle Preston and winger Caleb Clarke, who all came off the bench against the Stormers in the tour opener on Friday, will start against the Sharks.
Prop Pasilio Tosi, who started in the 38-21 win in Cape Town, will likely get more game time off the bench.
Hooker Bradley Slater, who flew in five days ago as a replacement for the injured George Bell, is set to make his international debut from the bench alongside loose forward Semisi Ta'eiloa.
