A host of Knights players will represent their nations at the upcoming Pacific Championships across the men's and women's competitions.

The 2024 Pacific Championships will be played in four countries across four consecutive weekends in October and November. 

Knights centre Bradman Best has earned his first call-up to the Kangaroos squad following a huge season for the Woy Woy junior.

After making his second appearance for the NSW Blues during the year, Best forms part of a 21-man squad to take on Tonga and New Zealand.

Meanwhile for the Kiwis, Phoenix Crossland is set to make his international debut after earning selection for New Zealand.

Born in Wellington before moving across to Australia as a youngster, Crossland is part of a 21-man squad which also features Club teammate, Leo Thompson.

Thompson has earned a re-call to the Kiwis squad after making his Test debut last year.

In the women's competition, Olivia Higgins is set to make her international debut after earning selection for the Jillaroos.

Higgins, who made her State of Origin debut midway through the year, joins teammates Tamika Upton and Yasmin Clydsdale in the squad.

For New Zealand, Shanice Parker has earned a re-call to the Kiwi Ferns squad following another strong season in the red and blue.

Abigail Roache has also earned a re-call to the Ferns squad which took out the Pacific Championships last year while Laishon Albert-Jones is in the extended squad.
