Kaufusi, Berrigan, Tate Get The Call

ANTONIO Kaufusi will make his Test debut, while fellow Queenslanders Shaun Berrigan and Brent Tate have been called into the starting line-up for Saturday's Tri Nations clash between Australia and Great Britain.

To be played at Sydney's Aussie Stadium, the match will represent the first time the Kangaroos and Lions have met this year.

In their last clash, at Hull's KC Stadium in November 2005, Australia was victorious 26-14.

This time around Kangaroos coach Ricky Stuart has opted to experiment with his options, starting Berrigan at hooker ahead of Cameron Smith and replacing Matt King on the wing with Tate.

Tate has not played in Australian colours since last year's Tri Nations final, lost 24-0 against New Zealand. Berrigan, who has nine previous caps for Australia, played in the first two matches of this year's Tri Nations after missing selection for the 2005 tour.

Their excitement at reinvigorating their international careers will be matched by the enthusiasm of Kaufusi, the Bundaberg product who played for Brisbane Norths until 2005.

A hulking wrecking ball, Kaufusi has won a spot on a powerful bench which also includes Anthony Tupou and Brent Kite.

Queensland State of Origin stars Johnathan Thurston, Sam Thaiday and Justin Hodges have been rested from this clash.

Channel Nine will feature this game live at 7pm Saturday evening for Queensland viewers.
