Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga is expected to hand Test debuts to as many as four  players when Australia meet Scotland in the teams opening match of the Four Nations tournament.

Meninga has pledged to play every member of his 24 man squad in the competition as he continues to rebuild the Australian team following the departure of a number of veterans and former coach Tim Sheens.

Australian Gungarri five eighth Johnathon Thurston (pictured) says he’s excited to be part of what is such an important moment for the teams next generation of stars.
