 Vainikolo lines up against the Aussies |
New Zealand have named three Bradford Bulls in their team to face Australia in the second match of the Tri-Nations series at Loftus Road on Saturday. Lesley Vainikolo and Logan Swann have been handed starting spots by coach Daniel Anderson, while Robbie Paul will start the game on the bench. The Kiwis have made four changes from the side which drew with Australia in the tournament opener in Auckland. Cayless brothers Nathan and Jason start a Test together for the first time. But Bulls centre Shontayne Hape misses out, despite a good season. New Zealand must also do without second row Ali Lauitiiti. The 25-year-old, who helped Leeds win the Super League Grand Final, has been given permission to visit relatives and will join the squad next week. "It's something that was pre-arranged and we are happy to honour it," said team manager Gordon Gibbons.
New Zealand: Brent Webb, Francis Meli, Nigel Vagana, Paul Whatuira, Lesley Vainikolo, Vinnie Anderson, Thomas Leuluai, Jason Cayless, Louis Anderson, Nathan Cayless, Ruben Wiki, Logan Swann, Sonny-Bill Williams.
Replacements: Robbie Paul, Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell, Paul Rauhihi.
