Four rookies have been included in the NZ Kiwis squad to contest the Four Nations tournament over the next six weeks.

The Kiwis will assemble on the Gold Coast on October 18 and begin their Four Nations campaign against Australia at Brisbane’s Suncorp Stadium, October 25.

Sydney Roosters team-mates Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves are both late withdrawals due to burnout from a long season.
