Stacey Jones will play for the Kiwis in the Gillette Tri-Nations grand final at Elland Road Stadium in Leeds this Saturday.

Jones, who is currently in New Zealand with his wife Rachelle preparing for the birth of their child, will jet his way back to England in time to line up against the Kangaroos in the final.

Kiwis coach Brian McClennan is rapt Jones has once again accepted the call to play for his country.

"That really shows how important the Kiwis jersey and his teammates are to Stacey," he said.

"I can't say enough good things about him he really has shown his dedication and commitment.

"It's great to have him back again."

The game will mark Kiwis captain Ruben Wiki's 50th test appearance and McClennan said the final was a great place to celebrate the milestone.

"This is going to be one of the toughest test matches any of these players has faced," he said.

"The game is special for Ruben and it's just great to be able to be alongside him to mark this occasion."

Wife having a cesarian, flying around the globe twice in one week, arriving 36hrs before the Final....THATS ONE DEDICATED KIWI

I'm sure nospam49 will still find a way to claim that Jones is cheapening the jersey.....

Jones is a legend. He has shown lots of heart and this here is just another case of this.

This series probably would have sucked without him. It wouldn't be right for him to miss the final now
