New-look New Zealand take on Fiji in Lions warm-up

Sivivatu, who scored two tries in the Possibles victory over the Probables in the All Blacks trial last Friday, replaces his cousin Joe Rokocoko on the left wing for the one-off test.

Rokocoko had a poor Super 12 season and was released by the All Blacks selectors to play for the New Zealand Sevens side to try to regain the confidence and form that have brought him 27 tries in 23 internationals.
