GREAT Britain international Gary Connolly will be aiming to turn the clock back nine years when he runs out against New Zealand on Saturday.
The 31-year-old Connolly is one of only three survivors from Britain's last Test victory over the Kiwis, at Central Park back in 1993, and he would love nothing better than to end his country's dismal run in his last-ever Test series.
"We've done it before and it would be nice to do it again," he said.
Connolly will collect his 27th cap 11 years to the day since making his debut as a substitute against Papua New Guinea and he will return to his roots in another way by playing at full-back, the position in which he set out on his memorable career with St Helens.
Great Britain: Connolly (Wigan); Pryce (Bradford), Gleeson (St Helens), Senior (Leeds), Pratt (Leeds); Sinfield (Leeds), Deacon (Bradford); Fielden (Bradford), Cunningham (St Helens), McDermott (Leeds), Farrell (Wigan, capt), Morley (Sydney Roosters), Forshaw (Bradford).
Subs (from): Anderson (Bradford), Peacock (Bradford), Joynt (St Helens), Orr (Castleford), Gilmour (Bradford).
