Final, 22nd Nov 2008, KO 08:55, Ground: Suncorp Stadium
New Zealand coach Stephen Kearney has named an unchanged team for Saturday's World Cup final against Australia.
Wigan scrum-half Thomas Leuluai will keep the hooking role after impressing on his switch for the semi-final and there is another starting role for South Sydney second rower Bronson Harrison, one of the surprise successes of the tournament.
"The Kangaroos have some wonderful players and they've played some fantastic football during the tournament so far," said Kearney.
"While we know we'll need to be a lot better against Australia, we're excited with the opportunity we have. We don't want to have any regrets on Saturday night."
Skipper Nathan Cayless and second rower Sika Manu both keep their places after avoiding disciplinary action.
Cayless has been cautioned for a high tackle on Warrington forward Adrian Morley during the Kiwis' 32-22 semi-final win over England last Saturday while Manu received a similar warning for a foul on Gareth Ellis.
Players are allowed one caution in the tournament, leaving both men free to line up against the Kangaroos at the Suncorp Stadium.
The Kiwis will be making their third World Cup final appearance but have never lifted the trophy.
