Smith rings changes for final test

Great Britain coach Tony Smith has made three changes for Saturday's final Test against New Zealand.

With the Gillette Fusion Series already decided, Smith is taking the opportunity to give a debut to Leeds second rower Jamie Jones-Buchanan, who is named on the bench.

He has recalled winger David Hodgson and St Helens pair James Roby and Jon Wilkin, with Leon Pryce and Gareth Raynor dropped from the side that won 44-0 in Hull to build an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

"We want to see how much strength we've got," said Smith.

"I don't think we've weakened the team at all. It may well prove to be stronger, we've yet to find that out."
