Darren Lockyer will lead the Kangaroos against New Zealand in the ANZAC Test at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night, and will have three Broncos teammates around him.

Centre Shaun Berrigan, prop Petero Civoniceva and lock Tonie Carroll have also been chosen to start as the Broncos top the representation in the 17-man side for the first Brisbane-hosted Test since 1999.

The team is very similar to that which won the Tri-Nations Final in Great Britain last November, with the Australian selectors rewarding the side which produced what many rate as the best half of football ever seen in leading that match 38-0 at half time.

Kick off is at 7:30pm on Friday night, and great seats are still available from Ticketek. Don't miss it.

Australia: Anthony Minichiello, Luke Rooney, Shaun Berrigan, Willie Tonga, Matt Sing, Darren Lockyer (c), Brett Kimmorley; Steve Price, Luke Priddis, Petero Civoniceva, Nathan Hindmarsh, Craig Fitzgibbon, Tonie Carroll. Interchange: Ben Kennedy, Craig Wing, Mark O'Meley, Jason Ryles.

New Zealand: Jerome Ropati, Jamaal Lolesi, Nigel Vagana, Paul Whatuira, Matt Utai, Benji Marshall, Thomas Leuluai, Paul Rauhihi, Louis Anderson, Ruben Wiki (captain), Frank Pritchard, Wairangi Koopu, Sione Faumuina. Interchange: Dene Halatau, Jason Cayless, Roy Asotasi, David Kidwell.
