Meninga makes one change for Anfield final

Australia coach Mal Meninga has made just one change to his side for Sunday's (Monday 0130 AEDT) Four Nations final against New Zealand at Anfield with Shannon Boyd named as Sam Thaiday's replacement.

Thaiday suffered a fractured cheekbone and eye socket in the win over England last week and Boyd will take his place on the bench.

Meninga has named a 19-man squad for the match with Jake Trbojevic and Justin O'Neill added as cover.

Squad: Darius Boyd, Valentine Holmes, Greg Inglis, Josh Dugan, Blake Ferguson, Johnathan Thurston, Cooper Cronk, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith, Aaron Woods, Boyd Cordner, Matt Gillett, Trent Merrin. Interchange: David Klemmer, Shannon Boyd, Michael Morgan, Tyson Frizzell, Justin O'Neill, Jake Trbojevic. (two to be omitted)
