SG Ball Cup side named to face Bears
A largely unchanged side has been named for the One New Zealand Warriors’ second-round SG Ball Cup clash against the North Sydney Bears at Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe on Sunday (11.00am kick-off).
The Grant Pocklington-coached Warriors emerged with plenty of credit but ultimate disappointment when they opened the under-19 pathways competition with a 20-32 loss to defending premiers the Parramatta Eels last Sunday.
Of the starting line-up used against the Eels there is one forced change with Raphael Sio named on the wing for the unavailable Sio Kali, one of the Warriors’ try scorers against the Eels. Kali has been ruled out after being concussed.
Pocklington has named an extended seven-man bench.
North Sydney is coming off a 16-32 first-round loss to Melbourne. The Bears finished 14th on the ladder last season.
