Welcome to Saturday afternoon football as the New Zealand Warriors host the Canberra Raiders from Eden Park.

Both teams have new coaches this year with plenty to prove as their teams languish towards the lower end of the table. These types of games between two under pressure teams can often turn into absolute crackers so stay tuned for kick off at 3pm.

TEAM NEWS: The New Zealand Warriors have a few changes: Matulino starts at second row, Matagi to prop with Rapira out. Mannering to lock.

The Canberra Raiders are 1-17.
