The Mate Ma'a Tonga and Kiwis teams have been announced for this weekend’s clash. Solomone Kata will be out of action for the rest of the Rugby League World Cup 2017 after he sustained a foot injury against Toa Samoa. The game kick-offs at 5pm this Saturday 11 November in Hamilton, New Zealand.
The Mate Ma’a Tonga team list sees only one change from last week’s game against Toa Samoa with Konrad Hurrell replacing Solomone Kata’s at no. 4.
The Kiwis, invigorated from their landslide 74 – 6 victory over Scotland last Saturday, have named a strong line-up with the likes of Shaun Johnson, Martin Taupau, Adam Blair and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck.
