EDINBURGH (Reuters) - New Zealand flyhalf Daniel Carter will start his first test in almost a year and captain Richie McCaw will play at blindside flanker for the first time when the All Blacks meet Scotland on Saturday.

Carter last started a game for the world champions last November against England, when he won his 100th test cap, but has barely played at all in 2014 following a six-month sabbatical and his recovery from a broken leg.
