Bulls ace Sam Burgess was this afternoon omitted from Tony Smith's 20-man Great Britain squad.

Leeds skipper Kevin Sinfield is also left out for the third and final Test against New Zealand on Saturday night.

There will be no Bradford representation in the clash as hooker Terry Newton has failed to win back his spot and uncapped Michael Platt is another to miss selection.

Prop Burgess, 18, made the headlines with an impressive try-scoring debut in the first Test at Huddersfield.

He also featured heavily as the Lions thrashed the tourists 44-0 to clinch their first series win in 14 years last weekend.

However, it is believed Super League's Young Player of the Year has been rested for the Wigan encounter, where Great Britain hope to complete a 3-0 whitewash.

Leeds prop/second-row Jamie Jones-Buchanan is called up and is expected to make his own debut while Huddersfield's new signing, winger David Hodgson, and Hull centre Kirk Yeaman could make their first appearance of the series.

St Helens duo James Roby and Jon Wilkin are also back in contention after missing last week's win.
