Kiwis

A Canberra man has appeared in court after allegedly selling cocaine to two high-profile rugby league players after the Anzac Test last night.

Kiwis captain Jesse Bromwich and fellow player Kevin Proctor allegedly joined Canberra man Adrian Mark Crowther outside the Cube nightclub in Canberra's city centre.

Police allegedly observed Crowther on CCTV video preparing a white powder on his phone, before handing it to the two men, who rolled up bank notes and consumed the substance.

Warriors winger David Fusitu'a is in the starting team while the three other uncapped players are on the interchange for Friday's Test in Workington.

Te Maire Martin, James Fisher-Harris and Joseph Tapine will make their debuts off the bench in a match New Zealand must win by 42 points to guarantee a place in the tournament final.

There are five personnel changes and a positional switch from the side who lost 14-8 to Australia in Coventry, marking a change to the selection methods of coach David Kidwell, who has kept a stable side through his first three Tests in charge.

In the aftermath of New Zealand's 17-16 victory over the 2016 Four Nations hosts in Huddersfield, sections of social media erupted with claims Johnson's 65th-minute drop goal had actually missed and been incorrectly awarded.

With Australia getting up for a 54-12 victory over Scotland in the opening round of tournament play last week and the Kiwis edging past England 17-16, the winner of the trans-Tasman Test on Sunday morning (AEDT) will inch closer to securing a spot in the Four Nations final.

The 30-year-old Brown and his teammates arrived in the UK last week and will head from London to their base in Leeds on Tuesday.

They will take on an English squad with their tails up after last year's series win over the Kiwis, and a thumping 40-6 win over France on on the weekend.

Australia left new Kiwis coach David Kidwell with plenty of work to do ahead of the Four Nations in a fortnight's time, with Inglis securing his 30th try for Australia in front of a 20,000-strong crowd. 

They scored seven goals to PNG's 1 (7-1) and appear favourites for the second match next week.

Striker Annalie Longo and mid fielder Amber Hearn collected two each in both halves.

At half time, goals through Longo, Hearn and Rebekah Stott and Aimie Philips took NZ to a 4-nil lead during the break.

 In the second half, Longo dribbled past three PNG defenders to find the net and score her second goal for the day.

Sweeper Katie Duncan stepped up after a cross over and headed in before Longo sealed her second goal to her name.
