It has been confirmed that the Flying Fijians and the All Blacks match will go on!
This will be a major fundraiser for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal.
All Blacks Coach Graham Henry said the Test would be a key match for the All Blacks as the team prepares for the Investec Tri Nations and then the Rugby World Cup.
NZRU CEO Steve Tew said the final confirmation of Fiji as the All Blacks opponent had been delayed as the NZRU worked through issues relating to the New Zealand Government's travel restrictions on some Fijian citizens.
He added that the Fiji Rugby Union will field a competitive team within the parameters of the travel ban and see this Test as a major build up for their Rugby World Cup campaign.
The Flying Fijians and All Blacks match kicks off at 7:35pm on Friday, July 22.
