Wellington’s Danny Levi will make his first start in the Kiwis, named at Hooker for Saturday’s Rugby League World Cup Quarter Final match against Fiji in Wellington.
Levi earns a promotion from the bench where he’s started all three Tests since making his debut against Samoa in round one of the 2017 Rugby League World Cup.
Te Maire Martin has also been promoted to the starting line-up, partnering Shaun Johnson in the halves, which see’s Kodi Nikorima set to play more of a utility type role in jersey 17.
Adam Blair will again skipper the side in jersey 13, while 3 other Wellington men, Jordan Rapana (Wing) Joseph Tapine (Lock) and Nelson Asofa-Solomona (Interchange) will also get their chance to play in front of their home fans.
