The initial squad was selected in April 1977,[1] but several changes were made before the team's departure. Phil Lowe and Jim Mills both pulled out of the tournament due to bans imposed by the Australian Rugby League and New Zealand Rugby League respectively. Eddie Cunningham withdrew for domestic reasons,[2] while Tommy Martyn withdrew due to injury.[3]
