The Chiefs hooker was a late call-up for his debut in Hamilton against Fiji, given the heads-up the day before when Dane Coles pulled up with a calf issue.
His second test in the opening Bledisloe was even shorter notice, switching into test mode just half an hour before kick-off when Coles' calf twinged again.
Prop Karl Tu'inukuafe says Taukei'aho will do even better with a full week to prepare to come off the bench.
Kick-off's at 7:05pm, with build-up on Newstalk ZB from 6.
