The All Blacks will warm up for their British and Irish Lions series with a Test against Samoa in Auckland.
The world champions, whose first Test against the Lions is on June 24, will take on Manu Samoa at Eden Park on June 16.
The game will be preceded by a Test between Tonga and Wales.
The All Blacks have triumphed in all six of their clashes against Samoa since 1993.
But with a number of All Blacks regulars currently on the sidelines - including Ben Smith, Dane Coles, Jerome Kaino and skipper Kieran Read - it's a fixture many players may need to shake out the cobwebs.
