"It is a dream come true to have been selected into this team as every player dreams of playing for his country," said Aitken.
"The entire squad is a talented bunch with a lot of NRL experience within the side and it will be good to be playing alongside them instead of against them.
"I am focused for the week ahead and hope to be able to contribute to the overall philosophy that is being built here.
"We are expecting New Zealand to be big and tough and fired-up playing at home in front of their supporters but it is all part of the experience being selected."
