This weekend’s Pacific Cup promotion relegation match between Papua New Guinea Kumuls and New Zealand will be the last international outing for Shaun Johnson.

The 34-year-old New Zealand Warriors legend has been named in an unchanged lineup for the Kiwis’ Pacific Championships clash against the Kumuls.

It will be just the second time he has lined up against PNG, 11 years after the first when he kicked eight goals in the Kiwis’ 56-10 win at the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
