Kiwis: 1-17. New Zealand have retained eight of the 17 players from their last match, a 36-18 loss to England in Denver mid-year. They are bolstered by the returns of Shaun Johnson, Adam Blair, Jesse Bromwich, Kevin Proctor, Jordan Rapana and Isaac Liu and have handed debuts to hooker Brandon Smith and centre Joseph Manu. Playing fullback in the absence of injured Warriors skipper Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 23-year-old Panther Dallin Watene-Zelezniak has been installed as the new captain. 

The introduction of the NRL Holden Women's Premiership has unearthed a potential eight fresh faces across the Australia and New Zealand teams for Saturday afternoon's Trans-Tasman Test at Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.

It marks the first time the teams will play each other since the Jillaroos triumphed in the 2017 World Cup at Suncorp Stadium last November.

For a lot of the players from both sides, who were teammates just a fortnight ago across the four NRLW competition, they'll put their club alliances aside for the first time in history.
