New Zealand Coach Stephen Kearney has named several new faces in his 23-man squad to take on England in a three-Test series in November later this year.
With the likes of Shaun Johnson, Simon Mannering and Kieran Foran all unavailable due to injury, Kearney has named a slew of potential in the squad, including Tuimoala Lolohea, Isaac Liu, Kodi Nikorima, Curtis Rona and Sio Siua Taukeiaho.
They will join Wests Tigers enforcer Martin Taupau in the squad, with the forward earning his third Test selection following his international debut for the Kiwis in 2014.
England are yet to name their squad for the series which begins on November 1.
New Zealand will take on Leeds Rhinos on October 23 (local time), before opening the series against England at the KC Stadium in Hull on Sunday, November 1 (local time).
Game II will take place at the Olympic Stadium in London on Saturday, November 7, before the series wraps up at the DW Stadium in Wigan on Saturday, November 14.
New Zealand have won six of their last eight games against England dating back to 2000, including a memorable 20-18 win at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup on British soil.
