Māori All Stars: New Warriors signing Gayle Broughton has won the race to start at fullback, with Roosters ace Corban Baxter lining up in the centres alongside Kiwi Fern Shanice Parker. They're joined in the backline by prolific winger Payton Takimoana – who scored 15 tries in 11 appearances last season in the NRLW – and local Waikato product Tenika Willison. Prop Mya Hill-Moana makes her return from time off due to pregnancy and starts alongside veteran Māori rep Kennedy Cherrington in the pack for coach John Strange.
Indigenous All Stars: Coach Jess Skinner has named a strong forward pack to counter the power their Māori rivals, with Caitlan Johnston-Green returning to the side to partner Keilee Joseph in the front row. With Olivia Kernick sidelined, the new-look back row will feature the experienced Tallisha Harden joining with Shaylee Bent, who missed last year’s game with injury. The outside backs will feature two wingers on debut, with new Raiders recruit Krystal Blackwell and Titans try-scoring rookie Phoenix-Raine Hippi getting their opportunity. Fellow Titan Jaime Chapman moves to the centres, with Sharks young gun Jada Taylor coming back into the side as fullback.

Māori All Stars: Warriors star Charnze Nicholl-Klokstad will start at five-eighth and partner team-mate Te Maire Martin in the halves. The pair are among five Warriors players in the Maori team, including co-captain James Fisher-Harris, who will start at lock. Winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak and secondrower Jacob Laban are the others. With Nicholl-Klokstad to wear the No.6 jersey, Keano Kini will start at fullback – the pair being among six members of the New Zealand team which won last year’s Pacific Cup final against Samoa. Panthers centre Casey McLean, Fisher-Harris, Briton Nikora and Martin are the others. Bulldogs recruit Leo Thompson and his replacement at the Knights, former Raiders prop Trey Mooney, will start in the frontrow, with Manly’s Zach Dockar-Clay at hooker.
Indigenous All Stars: Dolphins gun Trai Fuller takes over the fullback role from club team-mate Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow this year. Nicho Hynes returns to the side as halfback, partnering with Sharks team-mate Braydon Trindall, after both missed last year with Vegas commitments. Jayden Campbell, who made his debut last year as five-eighth moves to the bench. Jack Wighton returns at centre and will become the most capped men’s Indigenous player with nine appearances. Coach Ronald Griffiths has named six debutants in his team of 20, including North Sydney Bears lock Caleb Tohi, who has come in for injured Wests Tigers forward Ethan Roberts. He joins two other players in Redcliffe Dolphins hooker Brent Woolf and Titans-contracted rake Ollie Pascoe who are yet to make their NRL debuts.
