Nicho Hynes has been named to make his test debut for Australia and will face off with Sharks teammates Ronaldo Mulitalo and Briton Nikora when the Kangaroos take on the Kiwis in week three of the Pacific Championships in Melbourne on Saturday night.
Hynes addition to the Australian side is just reward for two outstanding seasons in Sharks colours, having recently represented Australia in the Prime Ministers XIII match in Port Moresby at the backend of September.
Sharks NRLW squad members Emma Tonegato, Brooke Anderson and Annessa Biddle will also square off when the Jillaroos take on the Kiwi Ferns in a match to be played as a precursor to the men’s clash.
Our Kiwi contingent has been in great form of late with Mulitalo, Nikora and Biddle all crossing for tries during week two of the Pacific Championships.
The Women’s contest is scheduled for a 6:00pm kick off, the men set to get underway at 8:00pm.
