KEY POINTS:
The Great Britain squad arrived in Wellington this morning, with Brian Noble naming an unchanged 18-man squad for Saturday's crucial Tri Nations test yesterday.
Noble will not claim the favourites tag, although he does not believe that the Kiwis are favourites either.
Great Britain is backing up from the upset win over Australia, and Noble says the reality is that they are trying to keep their feet firmly on the ground.
Meanwhile, Kiwis forward Nathan Cayless can see a silver lining to the raging rugby league political saga.
Cayless and the Kiwis team are in Wellington preparing for the crucial encounter with Great Britain.
He says everything that has gone on has actually brought the team closer together, and being in the Kiwis squad is like coming back into a family.
Cayless will play off the interchange bench and believes that the last couple of weeks has made the squad tighter and will spur on the team.
Overall, he thinks the Tri Nations league series is improving as a product and that the competition is going from strength to strength.
Cayless says all the games have been very exciting and he hopes the crowd numbers will start to build up.
