BACK row Paul Smith, who will join the Giants from Rochdale for the next Super League campaign, has been named in the National League I squad for the representative fixture against New Zealand A at Leigh's Hilton Park on Sunday, November 2.

Smith's Huddersfield-based Hornets teammate David Larder is also in the squad, as is former Giants hooker Paul Rowley, now with Leigh.

Rowley was in action as Leigh booked their place in the National I Grand Final by beating Hull KR 42-12.

The Lancastrians, who lost out to the Giants for a Super League berth last season, will try again this Sunday, when they take on Salford at the Halton Stadium, Widnes.

The National II final, which takes place immediately before, will be between Sheffield and Keighley, who yesterday beat Chorley 45-12 in the elimination semi-final at Victory Park.
