Try-scoring teen ready to lead Kiwis to Pacific Cup glory

The Kiwis are poised to unleash their try-scoring sensation, Casey McLean, as they aim for victory in the Pacific Cup final this Sunday.

At just 19 years old, McLean has made a remarkable impact, scoring seven tries in three international matches. He is set to revisit the site of his unforgettable debut from last year.

During his inaugural outing with the Kiwis, McLean made headlines by scoring four tries against Papua New Guinea. Now, the team's focus shifts to overcoming Samoa at a sold-out CommBank Stadium this Sunday.

McLean will join veteran Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad on the left edge, with Nicoll-Klokstad expressing confidence that McLean will excel under pressure.

According to rugby league historian David Middleton, McLean's scoring record places him among the elite try-scorers in the sport, highlighting his exceptional talent early in his career.
