The All Blacks will not be playing England at the end of the year with England's Rugby Football Union set to green‑light New Zealand's game against the Barbarians.
England, fresh from joining the All Blacks with a tier one record 18 consecutive test victories, had hoped to test their best against the world champion All Blacks in November, with their side on top of their game.
But according to the Daily Mail , those hopes have been dashed as NZ Rugby chief executive Steve Tew had insisted his side plays the Barbarians, rather than a hastily put together test against England.
Meanwhile in the Super Rugby the Crusaders will take on the Force at 6.35pm Friday while the Rebels will play the Waratahs at 8.45pm Friday.
