Kiwis coach David Kidwell announced Adam Blair as the new captain to lead New Zealand at the Rugby League World Cup 2017.
The 30‑year‑old has played a vital role in the team's successes since his debut in 2006.
With 41 international Tests under his belt, including the 2008 World Cup and 2014 Four Nations winning teams, Adam has been an integral member of the top‑quality Broncos squad who are currently sitting in the NRL top four.
Blair’s first appearance as captain will be when the Kiwis take on Samoa on October 28.
Looking at NRL match results, the Eels beat the Rabbitohs 22-16, Warriors defeated the Broncos 28-10 and Sharks defeated the Bulldogs 9-8.
The Raiders will meet the Roosters at 6 tonight.
