Mate Ma'a Tonga has named a star-studded squad for Saturday's Pacific Test against Samoa, who will be headlined by Broncos star Anthony Milford.
Fourteen players who featured in the historic Mate Ma'a run to the semi-final of the Rugby League World Cup last year were named for the Sydney fixture including Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita.
Warriors duo David Fusitu'a and Solomone Kata were not considered because of injury.
Sea Eagles forward Addin Fonua-Blake was also named after being part of the Kiwis squad for last year's Rugby League World Cup.
They will face a Toa Samoa team boosted by Milford, who came off the bench for Queensland in Origin I.
