The Kiwis will name their team overnight for the first Test against England at Hull's KC Stadium at 6.00am on Monday (NZT).
Co-captain Adam Blair is in doubt after picking up a calf injury in last Saturday's 34-16 win over Leeds at Headingley.
Coach Stephen Kearney has indicated the veteran forward will be given every opportunity to play in the first of the three-match series.
Each of the Vodafone Warriors' four players on tour is expected to be named in the starting line-up - Tuimoala Lolohea in the halves and Ben Matulino in the front row with new signings Roger Tuivasa-Sheck at fullback and co-captain Issac Luke at hooker.
