Confirmed Lineup: Changes made to starting pack - warriors.kiwi
<div>
<p>One New Zealand Warriors head coach Andrew Webster has reshuffled his starting forward pack for the club’s historic NRL season-launching clash against the Canberra Raiders at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (1.00pm kick-off NZT).</p>
<p>It sees three changes with captain Mitchell Barnett starting at loose forward, Jackson Ford coming off the interchange to start in the front row and Erin Clark going to the interchange.</p>
<p>Eddie Ieremia-Toeava is confirmed as 18th man with Te Maire Martin 19th man.</p>
<p>Omitted from the 22 were hooker Sam Healey, prop Bunty Afoa and winger Edward Kosi.</p>
<p>Co-captain James Fisher-Harris is the only player named to make his One New Zealand Warriors debut in the historic clash.</p>
<p>Bringing four straight premiership wins with Penrith to his new home, the Kiwi captain becomes Warrior #290 as the club begins its 31st season with its first premiership match played outside New Zealand or Australia.</p>
<p>Allegiant Stadium will be the 51st venue for a premiership match in the Warriors’ history.</p>

<p>While Fisher-Harris makes his club debut fellow offseason signing Erin Clark will line up for the club 2914 days since his NRL debut and only other previous appearance for the One New Zealand Warriors on March 10, 2017.</p>
<p>In the backline, head coach Andrew Webster has opted for Taine Tuaupiki to replace the injured Dallin Watene-Zelezniak on the right wing while Chanel Harris-Tavita claims the #6 jersey.</p>
<p>Webster has named four forwards on the bench with Dylan Walker providing utility value along with Clark and exciting young back rowers Demitric Vaimauga and Leka Halasima.</p>
<p>The only two players not considered were winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (wrist) and centre Rocco Berry (shoulder).</p>
<p>While Clark moves within four games of playing his 100th career match, Pompey will mark his 95th appearance.</p>
<p>This will be the 53rd match between the two clubs with Canberra holding a slight edge 27-25 overall; the Warriors have won five of the last eight matches. They will now have the distinction of playing in both the northernmost and southernmost venues in the competition’s history (Las Vegas and Dunedin in 2017). </p>
