New Zealand need at least a draw against Fiji to reach the Rugby League World Cup semi-finals, with the teams meeting at Cbus Super Stadium in Robina on Saturday, October 31.
Kick-off is scheduled for 2.30pm local time, or 5.30pm in New Zealand.
Fiji led Australia 16-12 early in the second half on Sunday before losing 36-22.
The Kiwis have had difficult World Cup encounters with Fiji, losing 2-4 in the 2017 quarter-final and winning 24-18 after a late comeback four years later.
New Zealand coach Stacey Jones has recalled Dane Gagai, Moses Leota, Isaiah Papali'i, Briton Nikora and Naufahu Whyte after they missed the 82-16 win over the Cook Islands.
Gagai returns in the centres, while Leota joins captain James Fisher-Harris in the front row.
Joseph Tapine moves to loose forward, and Papali'i and Nikora start in the second row.
Fisher-Harris is set for his 24th Test, his 18th consecutive international since 2022 and his 12th straight appearance as captain.
Te Maire Martin, Erin Clark, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Whyte, Xavier Willison and Scott Sorensen are named on the six-player interchange.
All six Warriors in the New Zealand squad played against the Cook Islands, while debutants Tanner Stowers-Smith and Jacob Laban are reserves.
Keano Kini retains the fullback role in place of injured Kalyn Ponga.
