New Zealand unchanged for England decider
New Zealand have named an unchanged line-up for the third and deciding Test against England at Wigan on Saturday.
Utility player Kodi Nikorima, who was a late introduction at halfback for last Saturday's second Test, keeps the spot after playing a key role in the Kiwis' 9-2 series-levelling win in London.
"These lads got the job done last week and it was a good performance from them," said coach Stephen Kearney.
"I didn't feel there was a need to change the team."
Gerard Beale replaces Tuimoala Lolohea in the extended 19-man squad.
Kearney, who has been in charge of the Kiwis since 2008, is now the most successful coach in New Zealand history, with last Saturday's win taking him past the previous record of 22 victories enjoyed by Frank Endacott from 1995-2000.
NEW ZEALAND SQUAD: Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Jason Nightingale, Jordan Kahu, Dean Whare, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Peta Hiku, Kodi Nikorima, Jesse Bromwich, Issac Luke (capt), Sam Moa, Kevin Proctor, Tohu Harris, Adam Blair.
Interchange (from): Martin Taupau, Ben Matulino, Alex Glenn, Lewis Brown, Isaac Liu, Gerard Beale.
