The former New Zealand international has been selected by All Stars head coach Ellery Hanley after excelling in the role at club level.

Kenny-Dowall has missed only one game since joining the Robins at the end of 2019, scoring three tries in 14 Super League outings this season.

“I’m buzzing,” said the 34-year-old, who won 21 caps for New Zealand.

“It’s going to be a massive honour and privilege to go in there this week and represent my club and the boys.

"I’m looking forward to getting into camp, meeting all the boys and having a great week.

“I’m very grateful and blessed for Ellery giving me the opportunity to come into camp and lead the boys out.

"I’m just over the moon to be a part of this and test myself against great players.”

The England and All Stars squads will be announced tomorrow.
