Australian Rugby League Chairman Mr Colin Love has today named the following players for the Bundaberg Rum Test Match against New Zealand at |
HUNT, SMITH RETAIN TEST JERSEYS
Story By : 
Incumbent full-back Karmichael Hunt has held off challenges from North Queensland's Matt Bowen and former Test number one Anthony Minichiello to be named in the Kangaroos side to take on New Zealand in the annual ANZAC Test in Brisbane on Friday night.
Hunt is one of six Broncos named in the squad, including Brent Tate on the wing and Shaun Berrigan on the interchange bench, while Cameron Smith has retained his spot at hooker despite a knee injury scare and the return of Danny Buderus.
Cronulla back rower Greg Bird missed out on a representative call-up despite recent good form, with coach Ricky Stuart preferring Andrew Ryan in the back row.
Meanwhile, Brent Kite has a won a starting spot in the front row alongside Petero Civoniceva.
Titans co-captain Luke Bailey has been named on the interchange while Manly recruit Jamie Lyon takes his place next to Justin Hodges in the centres at the expense of Dragons three-quarter Matt Cooper. |

PROP CLOSES ON RECORD 25/11 PERCHED high in the stands at gloomy Penrith two years ago, a deep shiver shot up Wayne Bennett's spine.
His weary Broncos had been hurt and humiliated, staring at a soul-stripping 26-point deficit as the clock ticked towards fulltime. |
Darren Lockyer has had a long STELLAR 2006. Tonight he and his Kangaroo teammates wrapped up the Tri-Nations to end the most excellent season for the popular Aussie Skipper. The Tri-Nations victory capped of Locky voted as the BEST PLAYER ON THE PLANET for the second time, if that isn't enough this most passionate of Australians also won the NRL Premiership with his beloved Broncos and he's a queenslander too!
