Kangaroos Team For Third Ashes Test

Australia's Head Coach Kevin Walters has named the Kangaroos team to play England in the Third Test of the Ashes series at AMT Headingley Stadium this Saturday.

Experienced forward and Kangaroos tour captain Isaah Yeo returns to the side in the only change from the second Test team that beat England 14-4 in front of more than 52,000 fans at Liverpool's Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Yeo has been passed fit after undergoing the NRL's concussion protocols following the first Test win.

Lindsay Smith, who came into the team for the second Test, will now move to the extended squad for the final match of the series.

Walters is backing the playing group that has won the opening two Tests against a determined England outfit.

"We've had to work exceptionally hard in challenging conditions to win the opening two Tests, and while we'd like to reward the extended squad for their outstanding efforts on tour, we just feel that the players who have got the job done deserve to play in Leeds," Walters said.

"The playing group has had a few days off to freshen up and now it's back to work - we've trained well today and we've still got the captain's run to get our ourselves where we need to be for what is a very important Test match for both sides."

The squad is as follows:

1. Reece Walsh

2. Mark Nawaqanitawase
