All Blacks fullback Stephen Perofeta is a rarity in modern New Zealand rugby, a player who made his start in Heartland rugby but who hopes to build on Saturday's first Steinlager Ultra Low Carb Test if he gets a chance in the second Test against England at Eden Park.

The All Blacks kick off their 2024 campaign with a highly anticipated clash against England in the opening Steinlager Ultra Low Carb Test of the year under the roof in Dunedin.

Rare chances to show their wares, especially with next year's Rugby World Cup in France, are the prospect for several members of the All Blacks team to play Japan in Tokyo on Saturday.
