Panthers playmaker Jarome Luai has been selected in the Junior Kiwis side to face the Junior Kangaroos at GIO Stadium on Friday.
Luai, 20, is a member of the Panthers NYC team but enjoyed a stint with the club's ISP side earlier this season.
Injury denied him the opportunity to represent the Junior Kiwis last season but he played a leading role in guiding the NYC Panthers to the minor premiership.
