Get ready for round two. Terry Newton reckons Great Britain's Test match on Saturday is going to be even tastier than that Sydney slugfest.

The Bulls hooker was part of the victorious Lions side that stunned the Kangaroos last weekend.

The Gillette Tri-Nations humdinger will not only go down in folklore for the fact the tourists actually won on Australian soil but also THAT Willie Mason punch.

The Aussie hardman belted Stuart Fielden with a clinical hook that sparked out the former Bull and then floored Sean Long with a flying elbow during a vicious opening.

It created another massive furore Down Under, especially when Mason only received a one-match ban, but Newton is expecting things to warm up even more when they hit New Zealand in Wellington.

"The Kiwis have to win to get to the final themselves so it's going to be more competitive than ever," he said "I think this will be tougher than Australia - it's going to be even more physical and will be an absolutely massive game.

"If we beat them then we're going to be there in the final ourselves and facing the Aussies again.

"That's what we're all after."

The Brits have tried to steer clear of all the media frenzy emanating from Mason's mullerings.

Newton added: "We're not getting involved.

"We're just concentrating on our own job, and whatever happens happens.

"It's a Test match and things do happen on the field. That's life. It's just good that I wasn't involved in it."

A fiery customer himself, Newton kept his cool to steer Britain around the field in Sydney and help set up an historic victory.

It was the first time since 1992 that the Lions had won in Oz and helped lay to rest the ghosts of their last outing on the same ground - a 64-10 hammering four years ago.

Along with Fielden, Jamie Peacock, Paul Wellens and Keith Senior, Newton was one of just five survivors from that humiliation and he admitted: "It was probably at the back of some of our players' minds.

"We got absolutely thrashed that night but it's a long time ago and we've come a long way since.

"Winning there on Saturday was just brilliant. Coming over here, trying to beat Australia in their own backyard, which hasn't been done for a long time, is a big feat but we were confident in the players we had.

"We played well for 80 minutes and it was a great performance but at the end of the day it still means nothing.

"We want to do well in this competition, get to the final and win it."

They stood up to the intimidatory tactics in the heat of the battle against the Roos and will expect more of the same from New Zealand, who have their own axe to grind.

The Tri-Nations holders were docked both points from their earlier victory over Britain a fortnight ago for fielding an ineligible player and now face a huge task to reach the final.

Newton, meanwhile, who postponed his wedding to make the tour and nearly backed out of the seven-week trip, is loving life on tour.

"It's a great experience," said the 27-year-old.

"I'm around a lot of fantastic players here. The weather's not been too great. It's been overcast and we've not seen too much sun.

"We've had a couple of good days though and it's better than it must be back home!

"I do probably miss home and family a bit now, especially my little girl, but I'm rooming with Sean O'Loughlin.

"I know him from my Wigan days and that's made things a little easier, being around lads I know well and I'm here to do a job.

"We all want to get to this Tri-Nations final and go down in history.

"That's what we are all here for and we are quietly confident of doing the business again on Saturday."

Seconds out!
