We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
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.
Kiwis coach Michael Maguire has announced a 21-man squad for the upcoming Pacific Championships, with seven potential debutants included.
Among them are Fa'amanu Brown and Leo Thompson from the Knights, as well as Wiremu Greig, Keano Kini, Griffin Neame, Matt Timoko, and Naufahu Whyte.
They will be making their first appearance for the national team in the game against Samoa on October 21.
In the front row, Premiership-winning props James Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota are expected to start together, forming a strong engine room.
