Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2711520, member: 8536"] NZ Kiwis coach Stephen Kearney has added experience to his bench ahead of his team’s second Test against England at London’s Olympic Stadium on Saturday (Sunday morning Australian time). After dropping the opening encounter of the three-test series 26-12 to the home team, the world no.1 team must defeat their rivals this week to keep their hopes for overall honours alive. The Kiwis led 12-0 after 30 minutes of last week’s contest in Hull, but lost their momentum once Kearney began calling on his replacements. This time round, the head coach has retained his starting line-up, but recalled veterans Lewis Brown and Bronco Alex Glenn. They will play in place of first Test debutants, Broncos' utility Kodi Nikorima and Siosiua Taukeiaho. Nikorima and fellow newcomer Isaac Liu fill out a 19-man extended roster. “Both these guys we’re bringing in were a bit unlucky to miss out the week before and offer a great deal of experience,” admits Kearney. “Looking at last week’s game, that will be important for us this week. “Lewis has done a great job for us in the past and Alex Glenn has had a wonderful year, so it’s just desserts for them. “We’re in a position where we have to perform and these guys have done it for us before.” The NZ Kiwis line-up for the second test against England at London’s Olympic Stadium, 2.30pm Saturday (3.30am Sunday NZ) is: 1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck 2. Jason Nightingale 3. Jordan Kahu 4. Dean Whare 5. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 6. Peta Hiku 7. Tuimoala Lolohea 8. Jesse Bromwich 9. Issac Luke (c) 10. Sam Moa 11. Kevin Proctor 12. Tohu Harris 13. Adam Blair (c) Interchange: 14. Lewis Brown 15. Martin Taupau 16. Ben Matulino 17. Alex Glenn 18. Isaac Liu 19.
