In an exciting addition to Friday nights test match, ten of the victorious 1998 Kiwis team will be on hand to show their support to this year's challengers.
Matthew Ridge, captain of the team which won the Anzac test that year, will join team mates Sean Hoppe, Richie Barnett, Stacey Jones, Quentin Pongia, Jarrod McCracken, Logan Swann and Joe Vagana on field in a guard of honour for the Kiwis when they take run out for this, the second only Anzac test to be held on NZ soil. 2012 Kiwis management team members Ruben Wiki and Tony Iro were also part of the winning team while current coach Stephen Kearney missed the game due to suspension.
In 1998 the Kangaroos fielded their first unified team in years with the Super League war finally at an end. Bob Fulton was coach, Laurie Daley the captain and Allan Langer was selected ahead of Andrew Johns. They were expected to win easily as the Kiwis camp was under significant pressure at the time.
After the Kiwis team was named coach Endacott lost Stephen Kearney to suspension, Gene Ngamu, Syd Eru & Tony Puletua through injury and Henry Paul, the hooker was only able to join the camp two days before kickoff. Despite the disruptions, the suspension to Stephen Kearney was widely decried at the time, the only new cap in the team was Nigel Vagana, coming off the bench.
The Paul brothers became the 29th set of brothers to represent NZ that day and the 15th pair to play a test together. They were joined in the team by the Iro brothers and the Vagana cousins, a real family affair. This was also the year the traditional V returned to the Kiwis jersey.
They were 12-2 down, had lost Johnny Lomax two minutes into the game and Richie Barnett was playing with a broken hand but in what coach Endacott described at the time as a 'superb effort' they fought their way back to win 22-16 in front of 25,620 screaming fans.
NZRL CEO Jim Doyle said "Rugby League has a proud history in NZ and the 1998 team are an integral part of that. Their win was an inspiration to up and coming Kiwis. I know our current players appreciate their support, and I'm sure the crowd will give them the rousing reception they deserve when they take the field."
Good seats are still available for tomorrow nights game through Ticketek (0800 TICKETEK, www.ticketek.co.nz and all agencies) and through selected Mad Butcher stores.

Source: www.quins.co.ukHenry Paul has announced that he will be departing the Harlequins Rugby League club at the end of this season. Paul, whose current contract with the Quins takes him up to the end of 2008, has taken up an opportunity to join Leeds Carnegie Rugby Union club on a two year deal.
Since joining Harlequins RL midway through the season in 2006, the thirty four year old has played a vital role for the club both on and off the field. His natural ability as both a player and a leader has made him a key member of the Quins first team squad as well as a favourite amongst supporters.
Although disappointed to see someone of Paul's quality leave, Harlequins RL recognise and appreciate the enormous positive impact he has had on the club and London Rugby League during his time in the capital.
Harlequins Rugby League Head Coach Brian McDermott has said:
"People like Henry Paul don't come along every day and he's one of those people that every club needs.
"When the club first signed Henry there may have been a few eyebrows raised but he has exceeded all expectations. He has been a true servant to the club, both as a player and leader on and off the field.
"Henry has made the decision to move on to better himself, and to do the best thing for his family.
"On behalf of Harlequins Rugby League I'd like to thank Henry for his service to the club and wish him all the best for the next step in his career."While Paul has decided his future beyond Super League XIII he insists he remains focussed on the task at hand, saying:
"It was an important decision to make and I am glad now that it is done and is all out in the open.
"I've now got the rest of the season to play with the Harlequins and that's my focus at the moment.
"I have never been one to leave a club in the lurch, I've always played with consistency and finished off the job at hand and that is what I will be doing here with the Quins. I'll think about Rugby Union when that is done."Paul will remain with the Harlequins through to the end of the 2008 engage Super League season before joining Leeds Carnegie in October of this year.
