Australia\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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 Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Yeo has been passed fit after undergoing the NRL\u2019s concussion protocols following the first Test win.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Walters is backing the playing group that has won the opening two Tests against a determined England outfit.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had to work exceptionally hard in challenging conditions to win the opening two Tests, and while we\u2019d 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,\u201d Walters said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe playing group has had a few days off to freshen up and now it\u2019s back to work \u2013 we\u2019ve trained well today and we\u2019ve still got the captain\u2019s run to get our ourselves where we need to be for what is a very important Test match for both sides.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
