Fiji will bring a very different challenge from Tonga – Foster
All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster

All Blacks Head Coach Ian Foster says Fiji will bring a very different challenge from Tonga.

Foster says Fiji are a more established side made up of primarily overseas-based players, who are amongst some of the better players in Europe.

He says he is happy with the way his team is performing and anticipates that it will be a tough game.

Sevu Reece, Hoskins Sotutu and George Bower will all start for the All Blacks when they take on Fiji on Saturday.

Beauden Barrett will play at flyhalf while his brother Jordie Barrett will be at fullback.

Also returning for the All Blacks is Brodie Retallick.

Aaron Smith will captain the team while George Bridge, David Havili, Reiko Ioane, Codie Taylor and Shannon Frizell will also start.
