Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Kieran Foran have been named in a wider Kiwi squad for the inaugural Oceania Cup Test against Mate Ma’a Tonga at Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland on Saturday, June 22 (5.40pm kick-off).
Watene-Zelezniak captained New Zealand last year, while Foran last played at international level in the 2017 Anzac Test in Canberra, his 21st outing for the national team.
The final 19-man Test squad will be announced after the NRL’s 14th round finishes with the clash between the Sydney Roosters and the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs on Sunday evening.
