New Zealand: The Kiwis are set to take the field as named for their Test against Great Britain. Prop Leeson Ah Mau sat out training through the first part of the week with an ankle complaint, but coach Michael Maguire said he will be fine to play. Shaun Johnson has paid the price for the team's woes against Australia with Kieran Foran replacing him at five-eighth. Raiders star Joe Tapine returns from suspension at lock with Adam Blair shifting to the bench with Braden Hamlin-Uele out.
