Sharks hooker Michael Ennis has received the call-up to the World All Stars squad ahead of the Harvey Norman Rugby League All Stars game to be played at Suncorp Stadium on February 13.
Ennis now makes it five Sharks players set to take part in the annual All Stars match as he joins club Captain Paul Gallen in a World team set to take on an Indigenous side which includes Cronulla teammates Ben Barba, Andrew Fifita and Wade Graham.
Adam Reynolds, (South Sydney), Jeremy Smith (Newcastle Knights), Jordan Kahu (Brisbane Broncos) and Chris Lawrence (Wests Tigers) have also been added to the World All Stars squad
They will replace Trent Hodkinson, Tyson Frizell, Robbie Farah, Lachlan Maranta and Sam Burgess, who have withdrawn from the match.
Gallen has been shifted to lock in place of Sam Burgess, with Tom Burgess promoted to the front-row from the interchange bench.
The Indigenous All Stars team has also seen a couple of changes, with the two squads now as follows:
