Mac ready to fill Carter's boots

Leon MacDonald will fill the considerable boots of Dan Carter in the New Zealand team to take on the British and Irish Lions in the third and final Test at Eden Park on Saturday.

Fly-half Carter injured his shoulder in a man-of-the-match display in the 48-18 second-Test series-sealing win last weekend and, along with inside centre Aaron Mauger (hamstring) and prop Carl Hayman (infected toe), was ruled out of contention for the final match of the tour.
