Danny Levi's set to play his first game for the New Zealand Kiwis since 2017 after the Canberra Raiders hooker was a shock selection in the Pacific Championships squad.
Levi and Fa'amanu Brown were the hooking options in Kiwis coach Michael Maguire's squad announced on Wednesday with Sydney Roosters rake Brandon Smith unavailable due to injury.
The last time the Raiders No.9 played for New Zealand was in 2017, having represented Samoa at last year's World Cup.
