The Vodafone Warriors will have five players in the Kiwis' starting line-up for tomorrow night's Anzac Test against the Kangaroos at GIO Stadium in Canberra (8.00pm kick-off; 10.00pm NZT).
The spine of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Kieran Foran, Shaun Johnson and Issac Luke has been confirmed, the first time they've played together for the Kiwis since the 26-12 Anzac Test win in Brisbane in 2015.
Joining them is second rower Simon Mannering, whose 41st and most recent Test was also in that 2015 Anzac Day triumph. The sixth Vodafone Warrior named in the initial 20-man squad - David Fusitu'a - is 19th man.
Penrith's Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and Canberra's Jordan Rapana are on the wings with Jordan Kahu (Brisbane) and Penrith's Dean Whare in the centres. St George Illawarra's Russell Packer makes his Kiwi comeback six years after his debut as a starting prop alongside captain Jesse Bromwich.
