Ex-Leeds back rower Greg Eastwood has been added to New Zealand's train-on squad for the Four Nations series in England.
The Canterbury Bulldogs forward is the only addition to the initial 23-man squad after the first week of the NRL play-offs in which the Bulldogs and Gold Coast Titans were eliminated.
Eastwood, 29, has won 24 caps for New Zealand and has played for the Bulldogs since leaving Leeds Rhinos in 2010.
The final touring group of 24 will be named in the week following the NRL Grand Final on Sunday, October 10, and will travel to Perth for next month's Test against Australia before the Four Nations series kicks off at the end of the same month.
Meanwhile, David Kidwell is poised to take over the New Zealand national team after Stephen Kearney resigned with immediate effect on Monday to take over at the New Zealand Warriors.
