All Blacks Coach Ian Foster says Fiji born winger Sevu Reece is an established test player and he is delighted that Reece is back to face the Wallabies in their Tri-Nations match on Saturday.

Reece scored 4 tries in 7 matches for the All Blacks last year but failed to make the match day squad in the earlier matches.

He attended Queen Victoria School and moved to NZ when he was 16 years old.

Foster says the three tests has been exciting so far and he is expecting yet another tough battle against the Wallabies.

Former Fiji under 20 rep, Alex Hodgman is on the bench while Hoskins Sotutu has been rested this week.

Beauden Barrett returns to his preferred first five position while Jordie Barrett moves to fullback.

Captain Sam Cane, Karl Tu'inukuafe, Codie Taylor, Ofa Tuungafasi Scott Barrett, Samuel Whitelock, Akira Ioane, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Rieko Ioane, Ngani Laumape and Anton Lienert-Brown are the other starting players.

The All Blacks face the Wallabies at 8.45pm Saturday in Brisbane.
