The Flying Fijians were thrashed 60-14 by a rusty All Blacks outfit at Carisbrooke last night.
The Flying Fijians put up a determined performance and got two brilliant tries to Nemia Kenatale and Vereniki Gonevaa.
Consistent pressure put in by the Flying Fijians caused a number of problems for the number one ranked team in the World.
However, conceding six penalties in the first 20 minutes did not help Fiji as All Blacks used this to pile up points through tries from Sitiveni Sivivatu, Colin Slade, Andrew Whore, Adam Thomson, Conrad Smith, Piri Weepu and Mils Muliaina.
Fiji Team Manager, Taalemo Waqa said some decisions by Referee, Stuart Dickinson was also questionable including the penalty try awarded to the All Blacks.
Meanwhile, All Blacks captain, Richie McCaw said his team needs a lot of improvement before they start their Tri-Nations campaign.
The final score again, All Blacks 60, Fiji 14.
