History is in the making as the Centenary Test Match kicks off at the Sydney Cricket ground this May, celebrating 100 years of rugby league test matches between Australia and New Zealand since the very first match was staged on 9th May 1908. Both the Kangaroos and the Kiwis have a produced a knockout team line up for greatest trans-Tasman battle of the century and both sides are preparing for all out war to bring home the title. The Kiwis are hoping new coach Stephen Kearney has some tricks up his sleeve for some much needed redeeming from the 58-0 thrashing dealt by the Kangaroos last October.

Stephen Kearney`s Kiwis will be looking to put a sour taste to the sweet occasion by upsetting the Kangaroos. The Kiwi squad is strengthened by the return of Brent Webb from England and freshened up by the inclusion of 3 test debuts for Jason Nightingale, Isaac Luke and Setaimata Sa. Ricky Stuarts Kangeroos, who`ll be playing in the original 1908 replica strip, will be fired up for this big occasion. Unfortunately, test Captain Darren Lockyer will not be fit to play in the Centenary Test, but Stuart's side will still be showing strengths all around the pitch with the likes of top class Billy Slater as in form as ever. This is a match up not to be missed.
