New Zealand is playing at eden park for the first time and it will be the first major game since the upgrades with an expected 40,000 to be attending.
The game is a being named as a dead rubber with both teams being guaranteed in the final next week in Australia, it seems Australia will be relaxing and resting players untill then with New Zealand wanting to impress the home crowd and get the sport of rugby league out there.
Australia: Darius Boyd, Brett Morris, Brent Tate, Chris Lawrence, Lote Tuqiri, Todd Carney, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (capt), Dave Shillington, Greg Bird, Sam Thaiday, Paul Gallen. Interchange: Dean Young, Petero Civoniceva, Tom Learoyd-Lahrs, Robbie Farah, Kurt Gidley
No slater
No lockeyer
Farah, Young, Lawrance, Scott all getting there 1st run
Looks like a 2nd class ozzy team to me, good to see them finally giving Carney a run and taking lockeyer out.
Curious to see what the points spread will be....... Kiwi's + what ever points are offered..... they could even win it straight up
