New Zealand have lost stars Shaun Johnson, Manu Vatuvei and Steve Matai for this month’s rugby league Test with Australia.
The trio, who last weekend contested the NRL grand final, were all ruled out of the clash with the Kangaroos in Newcastle on Sunday week, as well as the Four Nations tour after failing team medicals on Friday.
Warriors duo Johnson (back) and Vatuvei (knee, wrist) have battled injuries throughout the season, while Manly premiership-winner Matai suffered a flare up of shoulder and neck complaints, which could require surgery.
Krisnan Inu and Elijah Taylor, who also played for the Warriors in last Sunday’s 24-10 loss, move into the side along with North Queensland rookie Kalifa Faifai Loa.
With Taylor and Faifai Loa joining the squad, coach Stephen Kearney now has seven international rookies at his disposal for the Four Nations tournament, which starts in England later this month.
