A hand injury sustained in Sunday's clash against the St George Illawara Dragons has ruled Melbourne Storm youngster Nelson Asofa-Solomona out of Friday night’s Anzac Test against the Kangaroos in Canberra.

Elijah Taylor, 27, has now been called into camp to replace Asofa-Solomona in the 20-man squad.

Kiwis squad: Adam Blair, Jesse Bromwich, Kenny Bromwich, Kieran Foran, David Fusitu'a, Shaun Johnson, Jordan Kahu, Issac Luke, Simon Mannering, Kodi Nikorima, Russell Packer, Kevin Proctor, Jordan Rapana, Brandon Smith, Jason Taumalolo, Martin Taupau, Elijah Taylor, Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, Dean Whare.
