Head Coach Stevie Deans has named a 16-man New Zealand Under 23 Major Sox team to attend a 5-day Australian Tour, competing in the Canberra Skins Tournament.

The naming of this team follows on from a successful camp in Lower Hutt over Labour weekend which was attended by 33 athletes from around the country. The camp highlighted the talent we have in New Zealand which made the naming of the final touring side difficult. For the players not named, there will be other opportunities as we continue to build for the World Cup in 2026.

Congratulations to the following athletes who will be attending the Canberra Skins Tournament for the New Zealand Major Sox (MJSX):

• Cohen Bailey (North Harbour)
• Jono Little (North Harbour)
• Caleb Koko (North Harbour)
• Levi Wilson (North Harbour)
