A number of the NRL's biggest stars will descend on Townsville for the All Stars clash later this month, with strong squads officially named for the February 20 event.
In what will be the first televised game of the 2021 NRL calendar, Queensland Country Bank Stadium will play host to a double-header between the men and women Indigenous and Maori All Stars.
Fresh after signing with South Sydney, Benji Marshall will represent the Maori side for the first time, named alongside brother and Bulldogs hooker Jeremy Marshall-King in coach David Kidwell's side.
The Maori squad also consists of Storm premiership stars Jahrome Hughes, Jesse Bromwich, Brandon Smith, Kenneath Bromwich and Nelson Asofa-Solomona, while Penrith's Jarome Luai and James Fisher-Harris and Roosters star Joey Manu are among the others named.
For Laurie Daley's Indigenous side, the selection of Josh Addo-Carr, Cody Walker, Jack Wighton, David Fifita and Blake Ferguson headline a dominate starting 17.
In a welcome sign to his health, South Sydney's Latrell Mitchell has also been named at fullback after recovering from a hamstring injury that prematurely ended his 2020 campaign.
