Jarrad Hoeata is set to make his test debut for the All Blacks on Friday, this morning named in the All Blacks side to face Fiji at Carisbrook.
Hoeate was the sole uncapped player named in the squad earlier this month, pairing with comeback veteran Ali Williams, making up a new locking combination.
The 27-year-old debutant will find familiar faces around him, with fellow Highlanders Jimmy Cowan, Colin Slade and Adam Thomson all starting in the Canterbury Earthquake benefit match.
Slade will make his first test start for the All Blacks, starting at number 10, with Dan Carter on the bench.
Williams, who is returning to the All Blacks for the first time since November 2008, will earn him 62nd cap, making him the joint third most capped All Blacks lock, alongside Robin Brooke.
It is also a return to the All Blacks for Crusaders prop Wyatt Crockett and Highlanders wing Ben Smith who last played for the All Blacks on the 2009 Northern Hemisphere tour.
