WIGAN prop Terry O'Connor has been recalled to the Great Britain team for Friday's first Test against New Zealand in Auckland.
The 24-year-old forward was the shock selection when coach Phil Larder named his 13 before a training session under floodlights at the Ericsson Stadium today.
O'Connor made his Great Britain Test debut in the first Test of the tour in Papua New Guinea three weeks ago, but was then dropped in Fiji to make way for Bradford's Brian McDermott.
But he has bounced back to form and had an outstanding game yesterday despite the midweek team's 30-22 defeat by the New Zealand reserve side.
