Another Eden Park test has come around, with the All Blacks facing another challenger to the 31-year undefeated streak - this time it's the Wallabies who look to take the fortress.

More and more Kiwi footballers are being targeted by match fixers, and it's prompted concern across the industry.

It tends to begin like 'grooming', where the athletes will be approached with an offer of sponsorship, a trial with a club or even something as small as a pair of boots.

With the problem starting to increase, D'Arcy spoke with Sport Integrity Commission CEO Rebecca Rolls to discuss how we can protect our athletes.
