Shaun Johnson dropped from Kiwis squad for GB Test

Shaun Johnson will once again be the Kiwis main man.

Shaun Johnson has been dropped from the New Zealand squad to face Great Britain this Saturday.

Kiwis coach Michael Maguire has instead opted to partner Kieran Foran, who’s last international cap came in 2017, with captain Benji Marshall in the halves.

The decision comes after Johnson’s sub-par performance against Australia last week, in which the half-back himself admitted he “played s**t”.

Meanwhile, Canberra Raiders forward Joseph Tapine comes in to replace rookie prop Braden Hamlin-Uele, while Adam Blair will win his 50th international cap from the bench.

New Zealand Kiwis squad v Great Britain: 1 Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 2 Ken Maumalo, 3 Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 4 Joseph Manu, 5 Jamayne Isaako, 6 Kieran Foran, 7 Benji Marshall (c), 8 Zane Tetevano, 9 Brandon Smith, 10 Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, 11 Briton Nikora, 12 Kenny Bromwich, 13 Joseph Tapine, 14 Jahrome Hughes, 15 Corey Harawira-Naera, 16 Leeson Ah Mau, 17 Adam Blair, 18 Kevin Proctor.
