The All Blacks have little information about Fiji heading into Saturday's Test in Dunedin but they're not letting that affect their preparations.

Due to numerous struggles with COVID-19, the Flying Fijians have played just three matches since the 2019 Rugby World Cup - the last of which was a 38-24 win over Georgia in December last year.

It means the All Blacks have little playing tape of the current squad to work with when it comes to drawing up game plans, although assistant coach John Plumtree says that wouldn't impact their build-up this week.

Plumtree says the team had looked at Fiji's match against Georgia and World Cup footage to get a gauge on their opposition though.

Fiji will play the All Blacks at 7.05pm Saturday and then next Saturday.
