The New Zealand Maori continue their build up to next Tuesday's match against the Argentineans against a Wasps XV in Rotorua tonight.

Six changes have been made to the side that lost to Australia two weeks ago as the Maori defend a record of not having lost in New Zealand since 1993.

Matt Te Pou, the Maori coach, brings in Paul Tito and Reece Robinson to replace Mark Cooksley and Norm Maxwell in the second row and flankers Hare Makiri and Matua Parkinson come in for Troy Flavell and Taine Randel.

Slade McFarland is in in place of Norm Hewitt at hooker, the former All Black takes his place on the bench. In the backs there is just one chance with David Hill replacing injured Glen Jackson who is injured.

On the bench Kristian Ormsby and Blair Urlich will be given the chance to claim a first cap. On the Wasps' wing Joeli Vidiri has been called up in place of Auckland Blues team mate Justin Wilson who was injured at a recent Auckland NPC training.
