"Firstly, on behalf of the entire All Blacks squad, we want to congratulate those players who'll be making their Test debuts," said Hansen.
"It's an exciting and special time for those players and their families, as well as their teammates who join them in recognising their achievement.
"The team's really excited at what lies ahead. While this is a relatively inexperienced group, the expectation is that when you pull on the black jersey, then a top performance is required.
"It's important that the players embrace the expectation and enjoy it.
"They've prepared well this week and will bring an unbridled enthusiasm that comes with that excitement. We know they'll go out on Saturday and proudly represent the jersey, themselves, their families and their country."
