The All Blacks could welcome back star duo Ardie Savea and Anton Lienert-Brown for this Saturday's second test against Fiji, according to assistant coach Brad Mooar.
Savea and Lienert-Brown are yet to gear up for the All Blacks this year, having both missed the season-opening wins over Tonga and Fiji in the last two weeks.
Mooar says Savea, Lienert-Brown and lock Tupou Vaa'i are on track to play this Saturday and depending on the week of training, the three could return in the starting line-up or from the bench.
Savea has been battling a knee injury sustained during the Super Rugby Aotearoa and re-aggravated during Super Rugby Trans-Tasman.
Meanwhile, Lienert-Brown underwent a minor surgical procedure in June.
The All Blacks will play Fiji at 7.05pm Saturday.
