Penrith flyer Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Parramatta enforcer Manu Ma’u have been named to debut for the Kiwis in a 19-man squad which will be skippered by Jesse Bromwich.
Issac Luke has been left out of the side with Brisbane rake Kodi Nikorima or Lewis Brown to wear the No.9.
Kiwi stars Ben Matulino and Manu Vatuvei were also left out after the New Zealand Rugby League decided to stand by the Warriors’ club suspension of the six players left out of their win against St George Illawarra on Sunday, leaving New Zealand with a slightly new-look feel.
