Senior hints at ending GB career

Senior got on the scoresheet during Saturday's record win
Great Britain centre Keith Senior has revealed the series win against New Zealand will probably hasten his retirement from representative rugby.

Britain clinched the series with a crushing 44-0 victory on Saturday.

"It would be nice to go out through my choice and it would definitely be on a high if we made it 3-0 next week," said the 30-year-old Leeds three-quarter.

"Maybe it's time to let some of the young guns come through and let the old man bow out in style."

It's been a long time coming

Senior won the first of his 32 caps 11 years ago, during a tour of the southern hemisphere that included a 3-0 series defeat by New Zealand.

Saturday's victory, which followed a 20-14 win in the opening Test in Huddersfield, gave Britain their first series win since 1993, when they beat New Zealand 3-0.

"It's been a long time coming," added Senior, who scored a try during the win. "Now we're focusing on a 3-0 win which would be a fantastic achievement."

Meanwhile, international rookie Jon Clarke has set his sights on the 2008 World Cup after enjoying his first taste of Test-match football on the big stage.

606: DEBATE

The Warrington hooker, who at 28 is a late developer, seized his chance to make his Great Britain debut by playing a key role in Saturday's record-breaking win.

"I did my best and hopefully it will be enough to get me in the side next week," he said.

"It definitely whets your appetite and hopefully I'll get another chance at some stage.

"The World Cup is a long-term goal for myself, it's probably every player's goal in Super League. It's going to be a massive event and something I definitely want to be a part of next year."
