The All Blacks break a ten-year drought on Saturday night by facing up against Fiji in a test for the first time since the final international match held at Carisbrook in 2011.

Despite the relatively close proximity of Fiji to New Zealand, the two sides have met in just five test matches since first locking horns at the 1987 Rugby World Cup.

Those five tests tell a tale of domination by New Zealand, with Fiji only once coming within 40 points of their Pacific rivals.

Ethan De Groot is making his debut for the All Blacks and spoke with D'Arcy Waldegrave.
