Raiders star Josh Papalii has once again been selected as one of Australia's starting props by Coach Tim Sheens, with Papalii set to don the number 10 jersey for the Four Nations final against New Zealand at Westpac Stadium on Saturday, 15 November.
Papalii was instrumental in Australia's comprehensive victory over Samoa on Sunday afternoon with his powerful charges through the centre of the ruck netted the 22 year old a crucial try and his bone-crunching defence putting plenty of Samoan forwards on notice.
Sheens will be looking for a similar effort from Papalii this Saturday against the Kiwis.
