Star New Zealand playmaker Kieran Foran has been ruled out of the Kiwis' Rugby League World Cup campaign.

Foran, 27, struggled through his sole NRL season with the Warriors with back and thigh issues and couldn't steer the side to the finals series.

His loss will be a blow for New Zealand, but they have good cover in Te Maire Martin, Thomas Leuluai and Kodi Nikorima.
