An unchanged One New Zealand Warriors side has been selected to take on the North Sydney Bears in Sunday’s second-round New South Wales Cup clash at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe (1.00pm kick-off).

Both sides head into the St Patrick’s Day showdown on the back of first-round successes, the Warriors stealing a late 28-24 win over Newtown while the Bears took care of St George Illawarra 28-4.

The match-up comes six months after North Sydney held off the Warriors 28-24 last September to advance to the New South Wales Cup grand final.

Ten of the Warriors’ players involved in that contest are named for this Sunday’s encounter.

Experienced NRL players Jazz Tevaga, Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita are listed again along with 27-game NRL winger Ed Kosi, one of the try scorers in the last-gasp win over the Jets.

Tevaga had an impressive all-round game, topping all players for most metres (228) and tackles (40) while Harris-Tavita scored a try, kicked four goals from four attempts and laid on two tries and Martin provided three line break assists and two try assists.

Coming back from a scaphoid injury which impacted his preseason, Kosi scored a try and made 149 metres from 15 runs.
