Improvements will be the minimum standard the All Blacks will look for in Saturday's San Diego Test against the Fiji Water Flying Fijians.

All Blacks Assistant Coach Leon MacDonald says that improving each week applied regardless of who the side was playing.

He says they respect Fiji immensely, and people will only have to look at the Rugby World Cup, how they beat Australia and how close they took England.

McDonald says they get up for games against the All Blacks or any big nation, and that is what they thrive on.

He says it will be a dry ball and fast track, and they’ve got to be right on.

He adds if they drop their guard a little, Fiji is going to hurt them, and they don't want that to happen.

He says they want a really good performance that they can be proud of.

The All Blacks will meet the Flying Fijians at 2.30pm Saturday in San Diego.
