New Zealand Maori will make its debut in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup this year and will play internationals against Australia A, Japan, Fiji, Samoa and Tonga.
Stevenson said the competition would provide a new and exciting challenge for the team.
“This year will be the first time in a while that we will play five matches on consecutive weekends and that will be a huge test for the team."
