Leeds Rhinos captain Kruise Leeming will line up alongside three of his club-mates for the Combined Nations All Stars against England in Saturday’s mid-season international. Ellery Hanley’s team features players from seven different Super League clubs and will be skippered by Hull Kingston Rovers centre Shaun Kenny-Dowall.
Leeming will start on the bench as an interchange hooker but Rhyse Martin, Matt Prior and Zane Tetevano have all been named in the starting line-up. Seven players will be making their second appearance for the All Stars after featuring in last year’s 26-24 victory over England.
Leeming, Prior, Kenny Edwards, Peter Mata’utia, Chris Satae, Ken Sio and Kelepi Tanginoa are the returning faces for Hanley’s side, while the other ten players will be making their All Stars debuts. Hanley said: “It’s been a great week in camp and every single player has given their all, so it was tough to narrow it down to just 17.
