Warriors vs Raiders<\/b><\/p>\n
1pm Sunday March 2<\/p>\n
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas<\/p>\n
The Warriors have named their side of the round one opener in Las Vegas against the Raiders.<\/p>\n
Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad has maintained his hold on the number one jersey, with Roger Tuivasa-Sheck shifting from the centres to the wing.<\/p>\n
Chanel Harris-Tavita and Luke Metcalf will combine for the first halves pairing of the season, with Te Maire Martin named on an extended bench.<\/p>\n
Taine Tuaupiki has been named on the wing in the wake of Dallin Watene-Zelezniak’s wrist injury.<\/p>\n
Up front, co-skipper Mitch Barnett and James Fisher-Harris will prop the scrum, while Wayde Eagan takes the hooker role.<\/p>\n
Erin Clark has been named to make his Warriors debut return at lock.<\/p>\n
Coach Andrew Webster said his side has done well not to be distracted by the glitz of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
“We want to complete, if you do that you go a long way to winning the game. People tell me Vegas is a bit of a finals atmosphere, so I expect it to be really physical.”<\/p>\n
The round one clash against the Raiders, the Warriors first visit to Las Vegas, kicks off at 1pm on Sunday.<\/p>\n
