Jamie Peacock admits he loves to pull on a Bradford Bulls shirt.

But he readily admits that tomorrow's first Guinness Test against Australia at the McAlpine Stadium will be the most important match of his life.

The 23-year-old Stanningley-based second-row forward, named in Britain's starting 13, said: "Much as I enjoy playing for Bradford, this is the biggest game I have ever played in."

Added the 6ft 5in 16st England international: "The Great Britain management have been very positive.

"We really think we have a chance of winning, but we need to give this first Test everything we have.

"Our coach David Waite has analysed the strengths and weaknesses of the Australians - they may be the best team in the world, but they still have weaknesses.

"And we are very well prepared. I am really looking forward to it as you want to do the best you can against the best."

Also in Great Britain's starting 13 is Peacock's Bulls clubmate Leon Pryce. And the 20-year-old utility back said: "I have played against the Aussies before so I half know what to expect, and am really looking forward to it. The Australians are not invincible - it is 17 against 17 and they are not super-human.

"Yes, you cannot pay them too much respect, but we are a good team too now."

The Great Britain squad have recently returned from a warm-weather training camp in La Manga, and Pryce admitted it was no holiday.

"Going there was more work than relaxation as there wasn't much else to do otherwise.

"It was a case of getting our work done and keeping things together."
