Five First Nations Kangaroos will play out all three rugby league Ashes Tests in England with a series sweep in sight after coach Kevin Walters made just one change from the weekend's effort to go two-nil ahead.

The return of captain Isaah Yeo is the only adjustment from the 14-4 win in Liverpool, with Lindsay Collins sent back to the bench and Lindsay Smith pushed out of the side.

Reece Walsh, Kotoni Staggs, Gehamat Shibasaki and Josh Addo-Carr have held their spots in the backline, with Reuben Cotter to come off the bench again Sunday morning's (Australian Eastern Time) third match at Leeds.

More than 50,000 fans packed into the stands at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Walsh has starred in the opening two games, crossing over twice and causing all kinds of headaches in defence throughout the 26-6 opener at London a fortnight ago, off the back of claiming the Clive Churchill Medal in Brisbane's grand final triumph.

It's the 23-year-old's first tour playing in green and gold.

Following game two, Walsh called out what has been described as "vile" and homophobic abuse hurled at him from the crowd during the match.

After a breakout season in 2025, including a debut in Queensland's Origin side, having almost given the game away 12 months ago, Shibasaki has similarly run out for his first Tests.

Coming in as late injury replacement for his first foray in the national side since the World Cup in the UK three years prior, Addo-Carr is set to feature in all three Tests of the current tour.

Not taking his inclusion for granted, Addo-Carr, who's represented NSW in the Origin area on 15 occasions, earlier this week labelled any opportunity to run out for the Kangaroos a chance to play the "pinnacle of rugby league".

"Origin is massive, but when you put the Kangaroos jersey on you're playing with the best players in the world, best player in your position in the world," Addo-Carr told media.

"We've got the best players in the world and Kevin reminds us of that. Our connection from the start of the camp to now shows how close we are as a group."

Addo-Carr anticipates a tough contest in this weekend's third Test.

"We've had to work exceptionally hard in challenging conditions to win the opening two Tests, and while we'd like to reward the extended squad for their outstanding efforts on tour, we just feel that the players who have got the job deserve to play in Leeds," Walters said on the line up announcement.

"The playing group has had a few days off to freshen up and now it's back to work - we've trained well today and we've still got the Captain's Run to get ourselves where we need to be for what is a very important Test match for both sides."

In a tough move, six of the touring squad are set to go unused, including Bradman Best, who was plucked out of the Prime Minister's XIII to travel to England alongside Addo-Carr.

Walters told reporters "it wasn't an easy decision" to leave a cohort, also including Ethan Strange, Jacob Preston, Blayke Brailey and experienced pair Mitchell Moses and Dylan Edwards, without an appearance.
