Pacific Championships Team Lists: Week 3

Gallagher Kangaroos: Valentine Holmes has been recalled to the Australian side having served his one-game ban and will replace Selwyn Cobbo on the wing. Props Payne Haas and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui will be rested, their places in the front row taken by Jake Trbojevic and Test debutant Thomas Flegler. Maroons star Reuben Cotter will start in the back row and Liam Martin goes to 18th Man. Nicho Hynes will make his Test debut off the bench.

Kiwis: An unchanged 17 from last week's 50-0 hammering of Toa Samoa. After being a late addition to the starting side at hooker in week two, Kieran Foran will wear the No.9 jersey against Australia with Fa'amanu Brown reverting to the bench. Brown joins centre Matthew Timoko and fellow bench men Griffin Neame and Leo Thompson in making his second Test appearance for New Zealand. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and Joey Manu are expected to again share time at fullback.

PNG Kumuls v Fiji Bati, Sunday 4.00pm (AEDT) at Santos National Football Stadium, Port Moresby

Kumuls: Benji Kot is the new face in the backline, coming in at centre for Rodrick Tai who joins Storm powerhouse Justin Olam in being sidelined with a knee injury. Livewire hooker Edwin Ipape returns from suspension to start, which means Judah Rimbu moves back to the interchange. Rhyse Martin starts in the second row ahead of Titans enforcer Jacob Alick, who is instead on a new-look bench that includes Wellington Albert and Keven Appo. There is no room at this stage for Liam Horne or Nixon Putt, who were both part of the 46-10 win over the Cook Islands in week one.

Bati: Salford prop King Vuniyayawa comes into the front row for his eighth Test match with Gordon Whippy reverting to the bench. Mesake Ravonu also joins the bench with Sirilo Lovokuro and Watisoni Waqanisaravi making way.

Jillaroos v Kiwi Ferns, Saturday 6.00pm (AEDT) at AAMI Park

Jillaroos: Wests Tigers star Jakiya Whitfeld will make her Test debut in place of  Julia Robinson (personal reasons). Lauren Brown is the new hooker with Keeley Davis going to the reserves. Cowboys hooker Emma Manzelmann makes her international debut off the bench while Yasmin Clydsdale has also been added to the interchange with Caitlan Johnston out due to injury.

Kiwi Ferns: Co-captain Shanice Parker is set to play her third different position in as many weeks after being named on the wing, following stints at centre and fullback against the Jillaroos and Mate Ma'a Tonga respectively. Her move is triggered by the return of Raiders flyer Apii Nicholls at fullback, with Cheyelle Robins-Reti the player to make way. The forward pack is unchanged from last week's win over Tonga, while on the bench Ash Quinlan replaces Capri Paekau and Jasmine Fogavini comes in for the injured Amelia Pasikala.
