Coach Michael McGuire has picked four debutants in a powerful Kiwis line-up to tackle Mate Ma'a Tonga at Mt Smart.

Three new backs - winger Ronaldo Mulitalo, centre Marata Niukore and stand-off Dylan Brown make the run on side  while Penrith prop Moses Leota will be unleashed from the bench.

Joey Manu is shifted from his usual centre spot to fullback while Jahrome Hughes will join Brown in the halves, pushing 31-year-old Kieran Foran to the bench.

Recalled captain Jesse Bromwich is one of five Melbourne Storm players in the 17 and he joined the Matariki Breakfast.
