GREAT Britain have made two changes to the side that drew 14-14 in the second Test for Saturday's series decider against New Zealand.
Coach David Waite has recalled Leeds prop forward Barrie McDermott in place of Wigan's Terry O'Connor and named Sydney Roosters forward Adrian Morley in the second row, even though he has not trained this week because of illness.
"He's improving rapidly and we've told everyone where he will play," said Waite.
O'Connor, who intends to step down from international rugby league after Saturday's match at his home club, has been named in Britain's 18-strong squad but will drop out if Morley maintains his recovery.
Bradford second rower Jamie Peacock drops to the bench to make way for Morley's return, with Leeds stand-off or loose forward Kevin Sinfield losing his place in the squad despite impressing in both the first two games.
With more than 18,000 tickets already sold, there are high hopes of a near-capacity crowd at the JJB Stadium, where Britain need to win to share the series and lift the Albert Baskerville Trophy.
Team: Connolly (Wigan); Pryce (Bradford), Gleeson (St Helens), Senior (Leeds), Gilmour (Bradford); Sculthorpe (St Helens), Deacon (Bradford); Fielden (Bradford), Lowes (Bradford), McDermott (Leeds), Morley (Sydney Roosters), Farrell (Wigan, capt), Forshaw (Bradford).
Subs (from): Orr (Castleford), Peacock (Bradford), Anderson (Bradford), Horne (Hull), O'Connor (Wigan).
