Teams named for 2nd Test

The Junior Kiwis were dealt a major blow during the week, with Samuela Moa ruled out following a medical assessment of a concussion suffered in the first Test.

Moa, a West-Tigers development player, was a standout performer in the Junior Kiwis side that lost narrowly to the English 22-20 on 8 August.

Disappointed at losing the first match in the 78th minute, the Junior Kiwis will be keen to make amends in this second and final Test of the England Tour.

England will be equally keen to finish the NZ leg of their Tour on a high note and send a clear message across the Tasman as they prepare for a Test against the perennially strong Australian Schoolboys on 21 August.

The teams for the Junior International to be played at North Harbour Stadium on Sunday 15 August have been named as follows:
