Is this the greatest collection of Kiwi talent ever under consideration for a Rugby League World Cup?

From fullback to frontrow, every position is brimming with stars vying for selection by Stacey Jones for RLWC26.

The Kiwis are looking to win their first World Cup since 2008 and kick off the tournament at Allianz Stadium on October 15 before returning home to take on Cook Islands at Christchurch's OneNZ Stadium on October 25 and meeting Fiji at Cbus Super Stadium on October 31.

In the lead up to the most anticipated World Cup since the first tournament in France in 1954, RLWC2026.com will give fans the chance to choose their teams.

Who gets your New Zealand No.1 jersey - Knights superstar Kalyn Ponga, Titans livewire Keano Kini or Warriors star Charnze Nicoll Klokstad?

What about your hooker - is it Dolphins No.9 Jeremy Marshall-King, versatile Knight Phoenix Crossland or season Rabbitohs rake Brandon Smith?

And what about the Kiwis middle forwards - James Fisher-Harris, Moses Leota, Joseph Tapine, Erin Clark, Naufahu Whyte, Xavier Willison, Leo Thomspon ... the list goes on.
