Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has named seven players who are eligible for NSW in the Test match against New Zealand at Perth's nib Stadium on Saturday night.
Prop Shannon Boyd (Kangaroo No 808) and interchange forward Tyson Frizell (810) will all play in the green and gold jersey for the first time.
"This will be a great challenge for this team," coach Mal Meninga said. "The Kiwis have picked a very strong squad themselves.
"It will be great to see how some of our younger players fare against such an opponent."
