Two changes for England as Jermaine McGillvary, Matty Smith come in

Jermaine McGillvary and Matty Smith are brought into England's 19-man squad for the crucial final-Test showdown against New Zealand at the DW Stadium.

England head coach Steve McNamara has made two changes to his 19-man squad for this weekend's series decider against New Zealand.

Huddersfield Giants winger Jermaine McGillvary and Wigan Warriors half-back Matty Smith have both been brought in.

There is no place in the squad for centre Leroy Cudjoe and forward Ben Westwood, however, as England look to secure a rare series triumph over a Southern Hemisphere side.

The make-or-break clash will take place at Wigan's DW Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with the Kiwis' seven-point win in London last time out levelling things up at 1-1.

Should Smith make an appearance it will mark his first run-out for the national side since August 2014, while McGillvary has yet to be capped.

England squad to face New Zealand:

John Bateman (Wigan Warriors), Joe Burgess (Wigan Warriors), Thomas Burgess (South Sydney Rabbitohs), Mike Cooper (St George Illawarra Dragons), Liam Farrell (Wigan Warriors), Brett Ferres (Huddersfield Giants), James Graham (Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs), Ryan Hall (Leeds Rhinos), Zak Hardaker (Leeds Rhinos), Chris Hill (Warrington Wolves), Josh Hodgson (Canberra Raiders), Jermaine McGillvary (Huddersfield Giants), Sean O'Loughlin, captain (Wigan Warriors), James Roby (St Helens), Matty Smith (Wigan Warriors), Kallum Watkins (Leeds Rhinos), Elliott Whitehead (Catalans Dragons), Gareth Widdop (St George Illawarra Dragons), George Williams (Wigan Warriors)
