Two changes have been made to the Kiwis’ starting line-up for Saturday’s Rugby League World Cup quarter-final against the Fiji Bati at Westpac Stadium in Wellington (7.30pm kick-off).

Following last Saturday’s 22-28 loss to Mate Ma’a Tonga, coach David Kidwell has opted to start Te Maire Martin at standoff and Wellingtonian Danny Levi at hooker.

Kodi Nikorima goes to the interchange

Three other Wellington players Jordan Rapana, Joseph Tapine and Nelson Asofa-Solomona will also get their chance to play in front of their home fans.
