England is yet to confirm whether Rangi Chase will line up against the Kiwis in the Four Nations in Hull tomorrow morning.

While Chase has played in each of his adopted country's matches so far, Steve McNamara has delayed naming his team.

There has been plenty of focus on how Chase will handle playing against the Kiwis, captained by his old school friend Benji Marshall.

Marshall expects to see Chase line up in Hull, and says he is proud of his mate for the choice he made.

The Kiwis are still waiting to confirm their line-up as well, with FuiFui MoiMoi battling an ankle injury.

History is against the Kiwis ahead of the match.

New Zealand has beaten the hosts only once in the last 10 matches on English soil.

Benji Marshall says the loss in Hull two years ago loss still sticks with him.

The winner will go through to next weekend's final against Australia.
