Long before the Four Nations rugby league tournament kicked off, it was predicted that Australia and New Zealand would be the leading combatants and most likely the finalists; nothing from the opening fixtures last weekend has changed that opinion.The Kangaroos second-stringers, as expected, made short work of Scotland with a 54-12 romp to give Australia a comfortable start to their campaign, while the Kiwis had a much tougher time in a 17-16 arm-wrestle with host nation England.?Barring injury, the Kangaroos and Kiwis were expected to name their strongest possible line-ups for their highly anticipated clash this weekend.Mal Meninga has made seven changes to Australias line-up, with high-profile players Johnathan Thurston, Darius Boyd, Greg Inglis, Boyd Cordner, Matt Scott, Matt Gillett, and Valentine Holmes all named to return against New Zealand.We know the Kiwis will be a significant challenge for us so it will be great to welcome back some of the players who missed the Scotland game, Meninga said.But Meningas team sheet doesnt include Cooper Cronk, which raises one glaring question: Is Meninga starting to change the guard?The company line states the 28-Test veteran is being rested, but Cronk was the best player in this years NRL season and is the reigning Dally M Medal winner -- so it would be fair to assume that his form would make him an automatic selection.Michael Morgan is likely to join Cowboys teammate Thurston in the halves but is it more a strategic plan rather than a gamble??Having said that, it is still important to try out a few combinations and I am looking forward to seeing what this squad can do against the Kiwis, Meninga said.The clash with the Kiwis was expected to provide an insight as to what line-up Meninga views as his best, so his decision to overlook Cronk has many experts and fans scratching their heads.Meninga has already shown he isnt afraid to make the tough calls on long-serving stars, after leaving veterans Corey Parker and Paul Gallen out of the touring party altogether.With and ageing squad that includes some of the all-time greats such as Thurston, Cameron Smith, maybe Meninga is merely following his succession plan as Australia look to re-establish itself at the top of the rugby league tree.?Meanwhile, New Zealands only changes for the encounter with Australia have been forced by injury.Hard-running prop Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (knee) and Jason Nightgale (ankle) have been ruled out, with Greg Eastwood and Gerard Beale promoted into the squad.After both sides scored first-up wins, the match is far from must-win; but a victory, or at least a strong performance, is a must for New Zealand after Australia handed them a 26-6 thrashing just three weeks ago in Perth.Australia Kangaroos: (19-man squad, alphabetical order)?Darius Boyd, Shannon Boyd, Boyd Cordner, Blake Ferguson, Jake Friend, Matt Gillett, Valentine Holmes, Greg Inglis, David Klemmer, James Maloney, Trent Merrin, Michael Morgan, Matt Moylan, Justin ONeill, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (c), Sam Thaiday, Johnathan Thurston, Aaron Woods.New Zealand Kiwis: (19-man squad)?1.
