Hunters coach, Michael Marum said Wera was omitted after his visa to travel to Australia was not ready in time.
“It is a big blow to the team to leave him (Adex) behind. It has disrupted our preparations for the first game. Karo (Kauna) will take his spot in the centres in the starting line,” said Marum.
Kauna said although he was a last minute inclusion, he has been training with the team for the past 11 weeks and will give his best.
