Notes:
Newly appointed New Zealand coach Michael Maguire opted not to name a captain for this Test match. Issac Luke took de facto control of the role. [ 12]
Jake Connor , Thomas Makinson (both England), Slade Griffin , and Jamayne Isaako (both New Zealand) made their Test debuts, while Leeson Ah Mau , Herman Ese'ese , Raymond Faitala-Mariner , Esan Marsters , Ken Maumalo made their debuts for New Zealand having previously represented another nation (Samoa in all cases, except Cook Islands for Marsters).
This match set the highest attendance for a standalone rugby league match played in the United States, eclipsing the 12,349 that attended the 1987 State of Origin exhibition match at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Long Beach [ 13] and the ≈12,000-12,500 that attended the 2008 pre-season trial between the South Sydney Rabbitohs and the Leeds Rhinos at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville .[ 14] [ 15] An international between the United States and Canada at Baltimore Memorial Stadium in 1995, which acted as a curtain raiser for a CFL match between the Baltimore Stallions and Toronto Argonauts , posted a crowd of 27,853.
