Manly 2007 recruit Jamie Lyon ends a three-year exile in Sydney on Saturday after being named among five changes to the Australia team for the Tri-Nations Test with Great Britain.

With his team unbeaten after the opening two matches with New Zealand, Australia coach Ricky Stuart has opted to make wide use of his 23-man squad.


Lyon takes over in the centres from Justin Hodges, utility back Ben Hornby replaces a resting Johnathan Thurston at halfback and Brent Tate takes over from Matt King on a wing.

In the forwards, powerful second rower Willie Mason returns after sitting out game two with the Kiwis because of concussion, and Shaun Berrigan swaps his bench spot to replace Cameron Smith at hooker.

Signed to play for Manly next season, Lyon has not represented the Kangaroos since 2003, after walking away from Parramatta club in 2004 and later spending two seasons in England's Super League.
