Canberra Raiders and NSW-eligible prop Shannon Boyd has been included on the Kangaroos interchange bench following the withdrawal of Josh Papalii.
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles forward and NSW VB Blues contender Jake Trbojevic is the Kangaroos' new 18th man.
"Shannon was already included in the broader squad so it was an easy choice to bring him into the 17," Meninga said. "He was excellent for us in last year's Four Nations and it will be great to see him able to play a Test match in front of his home fans."
