Kieran Foran and Benji Marshall will play alongside each other for the first time in seven years after Kiwis coach Michael Maguire dumped Shaun Johnson

Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga has also handed Cameron Murray a Test debut in place of Ben Hunt ahead of Australia’s clash against Tonga on Saturday night.

But it is Maguire’s decision to dump Johnson in place for Foran which is the biggest selection call when the Kiwis play Great Britain this weekend. Maguire was far from pleased in Johnson’s performance during the Kiwis’ 26-4 loss to Australia last Friday.

Foran has played just two Tests since 2015 – his last a mid-year match against Australia in 2017. He has overcome a raft of career threatening injuries and off-field problems to produce his best football since leaving Manly in 2015 at the closing stages of this season for Canterbury.

Foran, who is off-contract at the end of next season, is one of two changes with Joe Tapine replacing Braden Hamlin-Uele in what will be Adam Blair’s 50th Test.

Murray’s inclusion is the only alteration to the Kangaroos side.
