Warriors centre Solomone Kata and Canberra winger Jordan Rapana will make their Kiwis debuts on Saturday, after coach David Kidwell named the team to face Australia in Perth. The uncapped duo are among seven changes to the side that lost 16-0 to the Kangaroos in the Anzac test in May. Roosters enforcer Jared Waerea-Hargreaves makes his return to the international arena, after last wearing the black-and-white jersey at the 2013 World Cup. Jesse Bromwich captains the team, supported by two other Melbourne Storm players who featured in the NRL Grand Final, Kevin Proctor and Tohu Harris. Adding experience in the spine is Thomas Leuluai, who first played for the Kiwis back in 2003.
