Forwards Kurt Capewell and Zane Tetevano will make their club debuts in a strong squad. Capewell missed the first trial with a quad complaint while Tetevano was on Maori All Stars duty. Fullback Caleb Aekins, who was absent last week due to the birth of his first child, is set to wear the No.1 as he prepares to replace the injured Dylan Edwards in round one. James Fisher-Harris is poised to play his first game since sustaining a pectoral injury late last year.

A strong side will suit up in Port Macquarie given Canberra haven't yet had the chance to fine-tune their combinations. Centre recruit Curtis Scott is set to make his club debut and Englishman George Williams will be out to impress alongside Jack Wighton.
