New Zealand Rugby League chairman Ray Haffenden has welcomed the announcement by the Rugby League International Federation supporting the NZRL's rights to select Brent Webb and Thomas Leuluai for the Centenary Test on May 9.
Leeds fullback Webb and Wigan halfback Leuluai were both included in the 19-man Pirtek Kiwis squad named on Wednesday to prepare for the clash against the Kangaroos at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Leeds and Wigan appealed to the RLIF seeking dispensation but the international body's executive today determined that the players should be released to travel to Sydney.
"We're grateful for the support from the RLIF, the Australian Rugby League and the Rugby Football League in this matter," said Haffenden today.
"Our selectors wanted Brent and Thomas in team and we tried to do everything the right way to ensure their involvement.
"While this ruling is important for the Pirtek Kiwis and this Centenary Test, it's more significant for international rugby league in the widest sense. We are determined to do all we can to protect the game at the highest level."
Webb (16 Tests from 2004-06) and Leuluai (11 Tests from 2003-07) are two of the most experienced players in the New Zealand squad. Only Nathan Cayless, David Kidwell and Roy Asotasi top Webb's total.
The English Super League is staging its "Millennium Magic" promotion in Cardiff this weekend with three games played at the Millennium Stadium each day. Webb is due to line up for the Leeds Rhinos against the Bradford Bulls on Sunday morning (NZ time) before linking with a flight from London to Sydney while Leuluai lines up for the Wigan Warriors against St Helens on Monday morning.
ISSUED ON BEHALF OF NEW ZEALAND RUGBY LEAGUE

Source: www.leedsrugby.comLeeds Rhinos coach Tony Smith has included Brent Webb, Ali Lauitiiti and Nick Scruton in his 20-man squad for this Friday's eagerly awaited clash with Bradford Bulls at Headingley Carnegie, kick off 8pm.
New Zealand international Webb missed the Rhinos win over Huddersfield a fortnight ago with a knee injury whilst Lauitiiti has been out for six weeks following minor knee surgery. England prop Scruton has been playing for the Rhinos Senior Academy for the past four weeks as he continues his recovery from a broken bone in his foot suffered in the first month of the season.
Great Britain international Danny McGuire is included after suffering a head injury in the win over France last Friday at Headingley Carnegie and will be assessed later in the week to confirm his availability for Friday's game. With the return of Webb, Lauitiiti and Scruton it means that the Rhinos only have Ashley Gibson unavailable due to a long term injury as the young centre recovers from a knee reconstruction.
Commenting on the squad Head Coach Tony Smith said,
"Brent and Ali will have fitness tests later in the week to ensure that they are 100% before Friday and likewise Danny will have the necessary pre-cautionary tests to give him the all clear. Bradford will be a massive test for us but it should be a fantastic game, as the previous two matches have been this season, and we are looking forward to it."Ticket sales for the game are indicating a sell out crowd of 22,000 for Friday night's game which will be the second biggest ever at Headingley Carnegie in the summer era. The Carnegie Stand, both seats and terracing, the Main Stand and the Paddock Stand have all now sold out with limited availability in the South Stand still available. Fans can purchase tickets from both the Headingley Carnegie ticket office and also from the Grattan Stadium, Odsal. Tickets can be booked in person or by calling 08700 606050 or the easiest and most convenient way is online at www.leedsrugby.com where fans can book 24 hours a day.
