NZ Kiwis have slightly tweaked their team for their upcoming Rugby League World Cup semi-final against Australia at Leeds on Saturday morning (NZ time).
NRL Premiership-winning Penrith Panthers prop Moses Leota has been called in to the extended squad to make his second appearance of the tournament.
Leota was named to play against Lebanon during group play, but was ruled out late, due to a groin injury suffered at training. He lined up a week later against Jamaica, but was forced from the field early with a pectoral strain.
He'll replace Panthers teammate Scott Sorensen, while Dallin Watene-Zelezniak also returns, after being scratched late from the quarter-final against Fiji last weekend, with a hamstring issue.
The other squad members not selected are Marata Niukore, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jeremy Marshall-King and Sebastian Kris.
The New Zealanders are coming off a nailbiting 24-18 win over Fiji to secure their place in the final four, while the Kangaroos dispatched Lebanon 48-4.
New Zealand: Nelson Asofa-Solomona, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Dylan Brown, James Fisher-Harris, Kieran Foran, Peta Hiku, Jahrome Hughes, Moses Leota, Isaac Liu, Joseph Manu, Ronaldo Mulitalo, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, Briton Nikora, Isaiah Papali'i, Jordan Rapana, Brandon Smith, Joseph Tapine, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
