Gallagher Kangaroos: Props Payne Haas and Tino Fa'asuamaleaui return to the side after being rested last weekend so Jake Trbojevic and Tom Flegler make way. Liam Martin is also back in the starting side so Reuben Cotter reverts to the bench and last week's debutant Nicho Hynes goes to 18th Man.

Kiwis: Coach Michael Maguire sticks with the same 17-man squad that went down to the Kangaroos in Melbourne with Joey Manu remaining in the centres and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad staying at fullback. Roosters youngster Naufahu Whyte is 18th Man once again.

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

Bati: Panthers star Sunia Turuva returns after missing last Sunday's game with a calf injury, which means Jason Qareqare is out of the team and Dragons powerhouse Mikaele Ravalawa moves from centre to his normal spot on the wing. Kitione Kautoga has recovered from a back injury and joins a new-look bench which also features Watisoni Waqanisaravi and Pio Seci, who weren't part of last week's final 17. Noah Nailagoliva and Sirilo Lovokuro are the men to make way, while Mesake Ravonu is out with a head knock.

Kumuls: Just one change to the starting side, with Rodrick Tai back after missing last week with a knee injury to replace Benji Kot in the centres. The other changes are all on the interchange, with Liam Horne, Junior Rop and Nixon Putt coming in to join Judah Rimbu, who is the only bench man retained from last week. Hooker Edwin Ipape is good to go after receiving a monetary fine for a Judiciary charge. Prop MacKenzie Yei has been unable to overcome a knee problem and isn't included in the wider squad.

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.
