    A Kiwis debut worth the wait for Jordan Riki

    A Kiwis debut worth the wait for Jordan Riki


    The 24-year-old second-rower has been listed on the interchange for Sunday's Pacific Championship test against Australia in his hometown of Christchurch.

    Riki was named in the New Zealand squad in 2023 - but withdrew late after picking up a shoulder injury playing for the Broncos in the NRL Grand Final.



    Riki's one of five debutants named along with fullback Keano Kini, winger Will Warbrick, hooker Phoenix Crossland and prop Naufahu Whyte.
