The Kiwis are drawing inspiration from two rugby league greats as they prepare to face Tonga in tomorrow's crucial Pacific Championships contest at Mt Smart

1 November 2024 - article from www.rugbyleague.co.nz

Former prop Ruben Wiki and former second-rower Mark Graham will present the players' jerseys ahead of the test.

Both legends were named in New Zealand's Team of the Century in 2007.

Meanwhile retiring halfback Shaun Johnson - who could be about to play his last-ever professional game if they lose - was spotted working hard on his tackling at training.

The winner of tomorrow's clash will meet the Kangaroos in the Sydney final.
