Bulldogs forward Greg Eastwood has been added to the NZ
Kiwis train-on squad for next month’s test against
Australia in Perth and Four Nations tournament in
England.
Eastwood (Kiwi #737) is the only addition this week, after the Bulldogs and Gold Coast Titans were eliminated from NRL playoff contention last weekend.
A veteran of 24 tests, he debuted for New Zealand in 2007 and took the field for this year’s Downer Test against Australia in Newcastle.
