White passed fit to face Kiwis at Wembley on Saturday
Lloyd White has handed Wales a boost ahead of their Four Nations clash with New Zealand.
The 22-year-old missed the opening 42-4 defeat by England with a hamstring injury sustained in his side's warm-up win over Ireland.
However, the hooker or half-back, who will join Widnes ahead of their return to Super League in 2012, was pronounced fit after the Welsh team's training run at Wembley on Friday afternoon.
He said: "I'm definitely looking forward to it. It's the biggest stadium in the UK.
"For me, growing up as a boy playing rugby or football, I had dreams and ambitions to come play on a big stage like this.
"We're just trying to go out there and put a performance in for ourselves. That's all we can do.
"As long as we come off the pitch with our heads held high, then that's all we can ask for."
Improve
Wales coach Iestyn Harris is not talking of victory but is expecting his side to improve on their performance against England.
"We've quietly built into tomorrow," Harris said. "I think it was important to deal with some of the issues that we had last week and the players have absorbed that information and have worked hard.
"We want to eradicate some of the errors that we had against England. We've improved in certain areas and we feel we're better equipped to take New Zealand on than we were a week ago against England.
"Come the end of the tournament, if we've improved as a group then the results will look after themselves.
"I think any Welsh team in whatever sport, be it union, league or football, are cast as underdogs.
"Generally Welsh sport gets used to that tag and over-performing. We're hoping to do exactly the same.
"This group of players are cast as underdogs - there's no hiding that - but we're comfortable with it and we feel we can lift our intensity and ability and perform against a very good New Zealand side."
Delighted
Harris, who captained Leeds to a Challenge Cup victory over London Broncos at the old Wembley in 1999, was delighted his players had the chance to run out at the stadium on Friday.
"The group are excited about it," Harris added. "They're not nervous or worried. That's what sport's all about - challenging yourself against the best.
"It's a fantastic stadium and we're against one of the best sides in the world, so why wouldn't you want to play there?
"The surface is great, it's really firm. We may have some rain but it should hold out and we should see some open rugby league which is what everyone wants.
"Playing in a stadium like this is exactly where rugby league deserves to be."
