Adam Blair will lead out a Kiwis side into the Rugby League World Cup quarter-finals with just two changes from the team that were upset by Tonga a week ago.
The Kiwis lost 28-22 to Tonga in their final group match but, rather than make wholesale changes for their match against Fiji, coach David Kidwell has opted for just a pair of them.
Hooker Thomas Leuluai is the big loser in the situation as he is out of the 17 altogether, replaced by the energetic Danny Levi, while Kodi Nikorima moves to the bench to accommodate Te Maire Martin at five-eight.
While Kidwell looked at the loss to the Pacific nation as a "blessing in disguise", senior players, including Blair, took a tougher stance on their own effort.
"We let ourselves down in the discipline areas that we are normally very good at and then that forced us to try to play some footy and caused us to make some errors," Blair said.
