Newcastle Knights Head Coach Adam O’Brien has named a 27-man squad to take on the Melbourne Storm in their second and final Pre-Season Challenge trial game at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Saturday.

The match is the first ever NRL official fixture to be held in Fiji with Churchill Park in Lautoka set to host the historic encounter.

The Coach has named a strong starting line-up with Captain and reigning Dally M Medallist, Kalyn Ponga, included, alongside returning All Stars players Dane Gagai, Leo Thompson and Adam Elliott.

The Saifiti brothers have also been named to take part in a special game for the pair given their Fijian heritage.

The match is scheduled to kick-off at 2:45pm.
