NZ Kiwis' Rugby League World Cup quarter-final match-up against Fiji isn't about revenge, with coach Michael Maguire asserting the 2017 upset has played no part in their preparations.

At the 2017 tournament, the Kiwis were stunned 4-2 in Wellington at the same stage.

Five years later, a much different Kiwis side will square off against Fiji again, hoping to advance to the final four.

The Bati will play NZ at 7.30am Sunday.
