Internationals General Kiwis News

[Weno]

When NAS,JBrom and JFH return.

JBrom in - LAM out or bench.
NAS in Tetevano out or bench.
JFH in Nikora out or bench.
Hope CHN is retained, had big impact coming off the bench.
The return of masters and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad coming up trumps in the centers will be hotly contested. Remis Smith in the back ground who could rob the nest ,because I think he is that good.lol

New Zealand have knocked Australia off the top of rugby league's world rankings after their 2-0 series triumph over Great Britain.
England, who did not play in 2019 with the return of the Lions, dropped from second to third place in the end-of-year rankings announced by the International Rugby League (IRF).
The Kiwis lost three times to England in 2018 but won three of their four matches in 2019.
"This is a great honour and it is good to be recognised but we know that the Kangaroos hold the silverware and that is our ultimate ambition," New Zealand coach Michael Maguire said.
Tonga stay fourth but have narrowed the gap on England after beating Great Britain and Australia, while Papua New Guinea have climbed four places to sixth via Saturday's win over the Lions in Port Moresby
"I would like to congratulate New Zealand on achieving their No.1 position," IRF CEO Nigel Wood said.
"It is fully deserved based upon their recent excellent performances with four wins from their last five international games.
"Tonga has possibly been the story of the recent internationals and they deserve all the plaudits that they have received.

"They have certainly cemented their place as a genuine top-four nation and, along with other Pacific nations, throws the competition wide open for Rugby League World Cup 2021."
LATEST RANKINGS:
* 1 New Zealand
* 2 Australia



* 3 England
* 4 Tonga
* 5 Fiji
* 6 Papua New Guinea
* 7 Samoa
* 8 France
* 9 Scotland
* 10 Lebanon
* Others: 12 Ireland, 14 Wales.

Good god, how are the aussies going to cope now especially after the Tedesco snubbing for the golden boot.

 

[matiunz]

Geez more meltdown to come after Tedescogate haha

 

[Chats271]

Aussies: BUt THey DIdNt EvEN PLaY OriGin!?!?!

I will agree with Madge though that it doesn't really mean too much without beating Aus in the past few tests

 

[Pozza]

All I could hear today was the whining of sirens, naturally I thought it has to be all the bushfires, then it occurred to me that ain't no bushfire it was all the whining Aussies

 

[Fazz]

Kinda taking the piss that Tonga didn't jump England though. I get that ~ t e c h n i c a l l y ~ they didn't beat England, but they might as well have.

I know the chances of a Trans-Tasman test this year are virtually non-existent, but looking who's lining up this weekend just imagine what Madge could do with this sort of squad:

1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck
2 Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
3 Esan Marsters
4 Joseph Manu
5 Ken Maumalo
6 Dylan Brown
7 Shaun Johnson
8 Jesse Bromwich
9 Brandon Smith
10 Jared Warea-Hargreaves
11 Briton Nikora
12 Tohu Harris Harris
13 Joseph Tapine
14 Jahrome Hughes
15 Nelson Asofa-Solomona
16 Isaac Liu
17 James Fisher-Harris


18 Charnze Nicoll-Klostad
19 Bailey Simonsson
20 Kodi Nikorima
21 Braden Hamlin-Uele
22 Kenny Bromwich
23 Kevin Proctor

Damn I usually buy a hoodie each year, must be only few options as no actual games so no player apparel needed.

A desperate Queensland is bad for international footie.

Queensland selectors have today received a shot in the arm after Gold Coast forward Moeaki Fotuaika turned his back on the Kiwis and set his sights on a maiden Morons selection.

I rate him highly, especially as only 20 years old.

 

[Naumaifooty]

as long as he plays for tonga and not australia

 

[bruce]

I rate him highly, especially as only 20 years old.

He should talk to Aussie Joe first

 

[Selector]

Jarome Luai commits to New Zealand/Samoa. Has no interest in playing for NSW & Austraila.

Panthers star Luai has little interest in NSW, with Kiwis and Samoa calling

Jarome Luai is set to skip a possible State of Origin call-up to allow him to play for either New Zealand or Samoa.

Why Kiwis fear Origin could drive stars to Pacific nations

Luai and Fotuaika face decisions which could preclude them from pulling on a Kiwis jersey again if they play State of Origin.
