The Kiwis spent the afternoon in football heaven yesterday - well for one half of Manchester anyway.
The official launch of the test series took place on the top floor of Hotel Football, the boutique operation owned by Manchester United legends Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs that sits a chip kick away from Old Trafford.
The top floor is simply called heaven, with an H for the lift button. It features a rooftop football pitch - with a retractable roof - an open top bar and a bird's eye view of the iconic stadium.
A host of weddings have been conducted there, the hotel is booked out during the season but for the afternoon the Kiwis took centre stage, along with the England team.
"It's quite inspiring," said Roger Tuivasa-Sheck. "I don't follow football that much but everybody knows Manchester United, as one of the biggest clubs in the world. It's a unique place to be."
