The All-Stars teams have been confirmed for the 2025 match, with Kalyn Ponga's selection likely to raise the most eyebrows.
After electing to not be part of the Kangaroos during the 2024 Pacific Championships, he will represent the Maori All Stars to get his 2025 campaign underway.
They will be joined by the likes of James Fisher-Harris, Keano Kini, Jeremy Marshall-King, Jordan Riki, Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad and one of the hottest off-season signatures in Leo Thompson, who will join the Canterbury Bulldogs in 2026.
Young guns Jacob Laban and Kurtis Morrin have also been selected by coach Adam Blair.
The Indigenous side will feature a debut for Jayden Campbell, as well as the selection of Shaquai Mitchell, although the team is missing suspended duo Josh Addo-Carr and Latrell Mitchell.
Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Jack Wighton headline an exceptionally young-looking team, while key try-scorer Alofiana Khan-Pereira, second-rower Dylan Lucas and impressive utility Connor Watson will also feature.
In the women's game, some of the biggest stars of the sport will be playing with the likes of Jaime Chapman, Olivia Kernick, Raecene McGregor and Shannon Mato all to play.
The games will be played on Saturday, February 15 at CommBank Stadium in Parramatta.
