The South Island team has one change from last year with Kerryn Tomlinson making the team for the first time, alongside her older sister Sheree, who will be team captain.

Defending champion Sarah O’Reilly also returns as do  John Morrison, Mark Hurrell and Ben Hope. 

The North Island features two changes to last year.  Newcomers Nathan Delany and Taitlyn Hanara will join forces with captain Dylan Ferguson, 2018 champion Alicia Harrison, Luke Whittaker and Fergus Schumacher.
