Tupou Vaa'i and Patrick Tuipulotu are out for the year and captain Scott Barrett is sidelined this week, meaning 23-year-old Fabian Holland and 24-year-old Josh Lord start against Scotland at Murrayfield on Sunday morning.
They've got a combined 19 tests, while Sam Darry adds six off the bench in his first test of the year.
Robertson has backed the 25-year-old.
Wallace Sititi starts at blindside flanker in place of Simon Parker - Leicester Fainga'anuku slots into the midfield for Jordie Barrett.
