NZRL Names NZ U16s to take on NZ Maori 17s

New Zealand Rugby League have named their New Zealand Resident 16s side to take on the Maori Rugby League 17s later this month.

The 18-strong squad will set out to follow in the footsteps of Steven Marsters and Chanel Harris-Tavita who were instrumental in the NZ Resident 16s team that last took to the field in 2014, both of whom went on to play for the Junior Kiwis.
These players have been identified as the best talent at 16s level from across New Zealand.
