The Fiji Water Flying Fijians will play the All Blacks later this year however the venue is expected to be confirmed soon.

Although it was earlier suggested that Fiji may host the All Blacks here, this will not happen and an alternative venue is being looked at.

The All Blacks last hosted the Fijians in July 2021, with the visitors going down 57-23 and 60-13 in a two-Test series in Dunedin and Hamilton.

NZR chief executive Mark Robinson has said in an interview with Sky Sports that they are working on test matches against Fiji in 2024, with one likely to be in the July Test window.

He says the All Blacks will host England for two Tests in July.

The team's 2023 Rugby World Cup performance, where they became the only Tier 2 team in the quarterfinals, and the fact that they defeated Australia is the team's most successful rugby campaign to date.
