WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Hooker Dane Coles scored four tries, three off the back of the rolling maul, to help New Zealand see off a spirited Fiji side 57-23 in an entertaining test under the roof of the Otago Regional Stadium in Dunedin on Saturday.

The All Blacks were expecting a much stiffer contest than in their 102-0 romp against a weakened Tonga side last week and the Fijians delivered with a physical challenge their hosts struggled to contain at times.
