New Zealand have named four international rookies in their team to face Leeds Rhinos this weekend ahead of the upcoming Test series against England.
Tuimoala Lolohea will partner Peta Hiku in the halves, with Shaun Johnson and Kieran Foran missing the series through injury and Benji Marshall left out of the squad.
Along with Lolohea, the Kiwis have included fellow uncapped players Jordan Kahu, Kodi Nikorima and Sio Siua Taukeiaho in the 20-man side.
"This will be an opportunity for those two halves to build combinations with the group around them," New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney said.
"We also have guys that haven't played since the last round of the NRL, so this is a chance for them to blow out some cobwebs."
Leeds will use the match to farewell club veterans Jamie Peacock, Kevin Sinfield and Kylie Leuluai and have also brought back former Rhinos stars Adrian Morley and Ali Lauitiiti for the match.
"This will be perfect preparation for us," Kearney said. "Leeds will be honouring some pretty special players and they’re expecting a full house."
