Seven players are in line to make their Test debuts for the Kiwis after being named in the 19-man squad for the international clash against England in Denver.

As reported in the Herald yesterday, several Warriors stars are missing from the squad, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Shaun Johnson and Tohu Harris all unavailable for the match at Mile High Stadium, while Adam Blair was banned by the NRL for two weeks for making dangerous contact to the head/neck area of the Cowboys' wing Kyle Feldt.

In what will be his first Test as head coach Michael Maguire has called up wings Ken Maumalo and Jamayne Isaako, centre Esan Marsters, front rowers Leeson Ah Mau and Herman Ese'ese, hooker Slade Griffin and second rower Raymond Faitala-Mariner.

"I'm excited for each of them and for everyone included for the first major rugby league international ever played in the United States," said Maguire.

"We have a group of players here who have all been in great form so far this season and totally deserve this chance.

"What has really struck home is just how passionate the players have been when talking to them about playing for the Kiwis and about this Test. They're busting to be involved.

"It's also hugely exciting on a personal level to not only be involved in coaching again but to have the privilege of doing so with New Zealand."

As well as the seven potential debutants, Maguire will have a core of experience in hooker Issac Luke, front rowers Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Martin Taupau, plus centre Peta Hiku.

The Kiwis have assembled in Sydney before flying out for Denver tomorrow morning.
