Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Coach, Vern Cotter is hoping that the New Zealand government will relax the Trans-Tasman bubble for Queensland so that Frank Lomani, Mosese Sorovi and Teti Tela are able to travel to New Zealand and join the team.

Speaking from New Zealand this morning, Cotter says the three Australian-based players are in doubt to join the team soon as there is a rise in the number of cases in New South Wales.

He says the players are currently in their own bubbles.

Cotter says it has been a long time since the two teams played against each other.

He says they know that they are playing the best team in the world and this will also bring the best out of the Fiji team.

The All Blacks have played Fiji nine times before, but not since 2011 in what was the final test match in Carisbrook, Dunedin.

The All Blacks thrashed Fiji 60-14 in this match.

The Flying Fijians will take on the All Blacks at 7.05pm on the 10th and 17th of July.
