NRL Star Valentine Holmes to Switch Test Allegiance
Valentine Holmes, Queensland and St George Illawarra Dragons outside back, is set to represent the Cook Islands at next year's World Cup.
He will be the latest NRL star to switch Test allegiance, following in the footsteps of players like Payne Haas and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, who opted to represent Samoa in this year's Pacific Championship.
The Cook Islands' qualification for the World Cup is not guaranteed, as they face South Africa in a qualifier next month after the Pacific Championships.
However, Holmes' involvement would be a significant boost for the team.
His participation would be a huge coup for the Aitu.
