Head coach Shaun Wane has named his 19-man squad for Saturday's Rugby League World Cup Group A clash with France at the University of Bolton Stadium.
As expected, Wane includes all seven players from his 24-strong tournament squad who didn't feature in last Saturday's convincing 60-6 defeat of Samoa in Newcastle. In come Wigan Warriors pair John Bateman and Kai Pearce-Paul, Super League Grand Finalists Joe Batchelor (St Helens) and Mikolaj Oledzki (Leeds Rhinos), Salford Red Devils' Andy Ackers and Marc Sneyd, and England's all-time leading try-scorer Ryan Hall of Hull KR.
