Great Britain coach Wayne Bennett has named an all-Canberra Raiders second row to face Tonga in Hamilton on Saturday. Raiders co-captain Josh Hodgson was also part of the Lions forward pack named on Wednesday, along with Elliott Whitehead and NRL second-rower-of-the-year John Bateman. Future Raiders half George Williams was named on an extended bench, with Bennett preferring ex-Manly playmaker Jackson Hastings in the No.7 jersey. The Lions play two Tests against New Zealand, in Auckland and Christchurch, following the match against the Tonga Invitational XIII.
