We acknowledge the stories, traditions and living cultures of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples on the lands we meet, gather and play on. They’re based in Leeds this week for a warm-up match against the beaten Super League grand finalists the Rhinos at Headingley on Saturday night. “There were some tough calls to make but we’re excited about the group we’ve settled on."

Instead, the squad features players from teams that have experienced more success in 2022.

The side is based in Leeds this week for a warm-up match against the beaten Super League grand finalists the Rhinos at Headingley on Saturday night. Another feature of the squad is the return of seasoned forwards Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Isaac Liu; plus fullback-centre Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad. So those sorts of positions and the decisions were the big ones that we've made." Born in Brisbane, he is of New Zealand descent through his Huntly-raised mother. The Kiwis' opening pool match of the World Cup is against Lebanon in Warrington on October 16, followed by Jamaica in Hull on October 22 and Ireland in Leeds on October 28. "Selecting the squad for the World Cup was a real challenge given the quality of players in contention," Maguire told media.

Also selected in the squad was dual-code star Shanice Parker who took part in this year's NRLW Grand Final for the Newcastle Knights against the Parramatta Eels. Uncapped at Test level, he was in the Kiwi squad for the World Nines in 2019. She was also the club's first player to pick up Halfback of the Year in the NRLW Team of the Year. "Selecting the squad for the World Cup was a real challenge given the quality of players in contention," Kiwis head coach Michael Maguire said. Waerea-Hargreaves and 2019 Kiwi Nicoll-Klokstad were unavailable for the Tonga Test due to injury while Liu, after being originally selected, remained in Australia to be with his wife for the birth of the couple's second child. All six players were in the Kiwis' extended squad which went into camp for the June Test against Mate Ma'a Tonga at Mount Smart Stadium, a match which saw Brown, Niukore and Leota make their New Zealand Test debuts alongside the previously capped Fisher-Harris and Papali'i while Sorensen was on the extended bench.

The Kiwis will be boosted by three players each from the Eels and Panthers but just one Warrior, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, will feature for NZ in the UK.

After assembling in the UK, the Kiwis will base themselves in York for the World Cup with their opening Pool C match against Lebanon in Warrington on October 16, followed by Jamaica in Hull on October 22 and Ireland in Leeds on October 28. “These players have all been impressive for their clubs this season, not least James (Fisher-Harris), Moses (Leota) and Scott (Sorensen) who were all outstanding for Penrith in the grand final.” “Selecting the squad for the World Cup was a real challenge given the quality of players in contention,” Maguire said.

James Tedesco will captain the most inexperienced Kangaroos squad in World Cup history after Australian coach Mal Meninga named 13 uncapped players.

- Damien Cook (South Sydney Rabbitohs) - Angus Crichton* (Sydney Roosters) - Lindsay Collins* (Sydney Roosters) “We have got Reuben Cotter who is a back-up hooker as well. I think running out as captain with the Australian jersey on is going to be a very proud moment.” “It was pretty straight forward,” Meninga said.

Mal Meninga has been forced to make some difficult decisions with his 24-man squad for Birmingham.

"Api is in the same situation. "All players will get an opportunity to play and put their hand up to play at the back-end of the tour when it does matter." Both have been put on stand-by as injury replacements.

Kieran Foran - not Shaun Johnson - has nailed a place in the halves as Michael Maguire names strong squad to cement the Kiwis as a World Cup favourite.

Backline utilities Te Maire Martin and Kodi Nikorima, Braden Hamlin-Uele, Corey Harawira-Naera, and Eels centre Bailey Simonsson, who injured a shoulder in the grand final, also missed out.

He brings the same playing style and form of a classical hooker and will be looking to do his countryman proud in what will be his debut campaign for the Kumuls. Still, it has a lot of different groups residing in different areas of the city, so it was important for us as a team to see in person the connection the country has with the Kumuls before heading out." The Kumuls World Cup squad will have NRL's premier finisher, Alex Johnston, who this year has been awarded the Ken Irvine Medal for the third year in a row. "I wanted players with experience, but I also couldn't look past the players that did well in the Pacific Test. The Kumuls will come into the World Cup confident that they will have some of the most in-form players to date. It's important that they see the country is behind them, and to be seen off by our fans in person means that when they play, they can relate directly to it," said Stanley.

Newcastle's Tamika Upton and Sammy Bremner of the Sydney Roosters beat Tonegato to the punch as fullbacks in a strong squad that will be short-priced favourites to lift the World Cup trophy in England.
