New Zealand make two changes for last Lions test

New Zealand have made two changes to their starting team for Saturday's third and final test against the British and Irish Lions.

Replacement fullback Leon MacDonald was promoted to starting flyhalf after Dan Carter injured his shoulder in last weekend's second test in Wellington.

Conrad Smith was called into the squad for the first time in the series to replace inside centre Aaron Mauger, who injured his hamstring in Wellington.

Smith was selected at outside centre to allow All Blacks captain Tana Umaga to move in one position to inside centre.

New Zealand won the first two tests to take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the series.

Wilkinson, Henson ruled out

Meanwhile, a crippling injury toll has forced the British and Irish Lions to delay picking their team.

England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson and Wales inside centre Gavin Henson are among six players already ruled out of the series finale while another five, including Lions skipper Gareth Thomas, remain in doubt.
