Rugby league’s All Stars concept has received a face-lift with the Indigenous All Stars set to face the newly named World All Stars in early 2016 at Suncorp Stadium.

The World All Stars team will feature a minimum of four NRL players each from Australia, New Zealand and England, while the captains of each of those teams will be automatic selections for the team, which will be coached by Wayne Bennett.

Remaining players will be made up from other nations, such as Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, PNG and France.

At least one player and a maximum of two players, will be selected from each NRL club.

“Even the best ideas can be improved over time,” NRL’s Head of Football Todd Greenberg said.

“We want every player on the field to be able to celebrate their heritage and we believe with some of these changes, every player will.”

World Coach Wayne Bennett supported the concept change.

“We’ve had a bit of a look at it and we think we can make it work,” he said.

“We’re not going to take players out of England, they’re all in the NRL somewhere. They’ll be NRL players. I think it’s a great innovation.”
