Jamayne Isaako is poised to set a New Zealand Test scoring record in Sunday's Rugby League World Cup final, after drawing level with Shaun Johnson on 225 points.
Isaako reached that total in 18 Tests, compared with Johnson's 35, and has scored 84 points at this tournament.
His tally includes 38 points against the Cook Islands, a New Zealand record, and 13 goals against both the Cook Islands and Fiji.
Those 13-goal performances also set a national Test record, surpassing the 12 goals Tasesa Lavea kicked in 2000.
Isaako's goal-kicking success rate is just under 95 per cent.
James Fisher-Harris will captain the Kiwis for the 14th straight match when they meet Australia at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium, with kick-off at 6.35pm local time and 9.35pm NZT.
The 30-year-old, named Dally M NRL captain of the year after his season with the NZ Warriors, took over from Jesse Bromwich in 2023.
New Zealand have since won the Pacific Championships twice, beating Australia 30-0 in 2023 and Toa Samoa 36-14 last year.
They will contest their fifth World Cup final, all against Australia, after losing in 1988 and 2000, winning their only title in 2008 and falling short again in 2013.
After losing to Australia on October 15 in a performance widely considered the best side on the night, the Kiwis beat the Cook Islands 82-16, Fiji 78-0 and Tonga 34-10.
Warriors Te Maire Martin, Erin Clark and Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad are named on the six-man bench.
Nicoll-Klokstad scored and made a game-high 216 metres against Tonga, having replaced the suspended Ronaldo Mulitalo, who returns on the left wing.
Joseph Tapine is set for his 30th Test, with Isaiah Papali'i, Briton Nikora, Fisher-Harris and Moses Leota completing the familiar pack.
Centre Casey McLean, 20, has scored 16 tries in eight Tests, including eight in four World Cup matches.
