Long-serving Northland prop Ross Wright has earned a deserved call up to the New Zealand Māori for their two-match end of season tour to Canada and France.
He will join Taniwha flanker Dan Pryor in the squad that features 10 new faces.
Wright, who has played 82 matches for Northland, had a stellar season anchoring their highly impressive scrum while producing the odd line break.
Pryor meanwhile marks his return to the squad after making his two appearances back in 2014 when the Māori played a pair of matches against Japan.
Dan's brother, Kara, and fellow Northlander Namatahi Waa were part of a big group of players unavailable through injury.
