Great Britain v New Zealand
The first of three internationals between these two teams who last met in this country in 1971. The Kiwis surprisingly won that series by two matches to one and Great Britain led for the first time by Wigan's GEORGE FAIRBURN , will be determined to turn the tables on the visitors. Both sides include young and potentially exciting players who will ensure an attractive and highly-competitive match.
