Michael Maguire has named his 19-man New Zealand squad for Saturday's World Cup semi-final against Australia at Elland Road in Leeds.
While the squad remains largely the same as the outfit that overcame a stubborn Fiji in the quarter-finals, Maguire has elected to make a couple of changes.
Scott Sorensen and Jeremy Marshall-King have been dropped from the reserves in lieu of Penrith premiership forward Moses Leota and try-scoring talent Dallin Watene-Zelezniak, although the squad has been named in alphabetical order.
Both Leota and Watene-Zelezniak have been unable to contribute to the World Cup campaign since the Kiwis faced Jamaica, with both being sidelined through injury.
Roosters' hardman and test football veteran Jared Waerea-Hargreaves remains left out of the squad since his appearance against Ireland.
He has missed three games this tournament due to suspension and is reportedly nursing a hamstring injury.
Maguire has also left Marata Niukore and Sebastian Kris out of his 19 - man squad.
