New Zealand will play a one-off test against Fiji on July 22 as part of its buildup to this year's Rugby World Cup.
The New Zealand Rugby Union said Friday the match will be played at Carisbrook in Dunedin and proceeds will go to an appeal for victims of the Feb. 22 Christchurch earthquake.
All Blacks coach Graham Henry said the test would be a key match for the All Blacks as they prepare for the World Cup in September and October in New Zealand.
The Fiji team will be subject to sanctions imposed by the New Zealand government after a military coup in the Pacific nation in 2006. The sanctions deny entry to members of the Fiji military and their families.
