New Zealand rugby is in negotiations to add another match to next year's end of the year tour but it will not be against England.
NZ Rugby Chief Executive Steve Tew says plans are in motion to add another game on a schedule that currently has games against France, Scotland and Wales.
He says the major focus for the team will be the tests against the British and the Irish Lions.
He says they will present an enormous challenge to the All Blacks.
As for the re-signing of key players such as Ben Smith, Israel Dagg and Aaron Cruden, he says there had been no more than the speculation that has been in the media.
