The All Blacks are expecting a much tougher match against the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians this Saturday after their 102-0 demolition of Tonga over the weekend.

The All Blacks ran in 16-unanswered tries against the Tongans with utility Will Jordan scoring 5 of them.

Assistant Coach Scott McLeod has made it clear that his side is aware of the step-up in quality heading into this week’s clash against Fiji.

McLeod says Fiji is a different beast who have got a number of players from Europe and they have been making their team very aware of that.

He adds they are expecting Fiji to be highly organized under a new coaching set-up.

The two sides last met in 2011 where the All Blacks beat Fiji 60-14.

The Flying Fijians will take on the All Blacks at 7.05pm this Saturday.
