David Havili is relieved to finally don the black jersey again.
The All Blacks 57-23 win over Fiji in Dunedin was the 26-year-old's first match for New Zealand since 2017.
The past few years haven't been easy for Havili, being sidelined with injury and illness.
He told Miles Davis he credits his support system for getting him through.
"Once I got to the other side and started putting my goals in place, getting back to the All Blacks was one of my main ones.
"So I'm just excited to be back in this environment."
