17 July 2021 All Blacks put 60 on Fiji. Video / Sky Sport

All the action between the All Blacks and Fiji.

All you need to know ahead of the All Blacks' clash against Fiji at Hamilton's FMG Stadium on Saturday, 17 July, kick-off at 7.05pm:

Last week saw Fiji achieve their best result against the All Blacks, scoring more points and producing their closest margin.

That being said, it was still a convincing 34-point victory to the men in black who were never realistically threatened by their Pacific rivals.

This series is a showcase of talent. Fiji's under-exposed stars get a rare double shot at taking the All Blacks, while Ian Foster and his coaching staff figure out what combination of players is ready to take on Australia in the Bledisloe Cup next month.

All Blacks coach Foster has chosen to test his veterans against Fiji this weekend amongst nine changes to last week's side.

Ardie Savea and Anton Lienert-Brown return from injury and will both bring up 50 tests for New Zealand after missing the opening two games against Tonga and Fiji.

Lienert-Brown replaces Rieko Ioane at centre and teams up with David Havili in the midfield while Ethan Blackadder drops to the bench to make way for Savea at No 7.

Elsewhere in the forwards, a calf injury forced Dane Coles to withdraw from the match on Friday which saw Chiefs hooker Samisoni Taukei'aho named in his place on the bench; while Luke Jacobson replaces Hoskins Sotutu at No 8 with Akira Ioane nabbing the No 6 jersey.

Richie Mo'unga returns to the number 10 jersey, with Beauden Barrett moving to the bench while Damian McKenzie will start at fullback despite a minor injury concern after dislocating his finger in the first test against Fiji in Dunedin.

Meanwhile, Fiji have made four changes to their starting XV with superstar lock Leone Nakarawa named as captain after regular skipper Levani Botia failed to recover from a knee injury.

France-based Eneriko Buliruarua replaces Botia at second-five while first-choice halfback Frank Lomani returns from injury at the expense of Simione Kuruvoli.
