Issac Luke faces battle for Kiwis hooker role with Danny Levi, says Nathan BrownTony Feder Danny Levi is destined to play for the Kiwis, according to his coach. Warriors hooker Issac Luke could have serious competition for the No 9 Jersey Kiwis jersey. Newcastle Knights coach Nathan Brown says his hooker Danny Levi will play for New Zealand in 2017 after a strong showing in pre-season. A back injury ruined his chances of joining the Kiwis in last year's Four Nations tournament in England. The latter played ahead of Luke in the Anzac test defeat to Australia last May, with the Warriors hooker struggling for form at the time.
