DEBUT FOR RAUHIHI
By Ian Laybourn, PA Sport Rugby League Correspondent
New Zealand Test prop Paul Rauhihi will make his first appearance for Warrington in Wednesday's re-arranged Mike Wainwright testimonial match against Salford at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.
The former North Queensland Cowboys player sat out the Wolves' other pre-season friendlies after being given an extended rest following the Kiwis' successful Tri-Nations Series.
Rauhihi, whose three-year stint at the Cowboys culminated in an appearance in the NRL Grand Final last October, is looking forward to making his mark in Super League.
"I thought it was probably a good time to jump in and I'm glad I'm here," he said.
"I'm happy with the choice I made."
