Jack Welsby to become England’s youngest-ever captain
England Head Coach Shaun Wane has named his 19-strong squad to face Tonga in the opening match of a historic three-game autumn international series at St Helens' Totally Wicked Stadium this Sunday.

The side will be led by St Helens full-back and three-time Super League Dream Team player Jack Welsby – at 22 years of age England's youngest-ever captain and the first Saints player to lead England since James Graham against Australia in the 2010 Four Nations competition.

Hull KR half-back Mikey Lewis is set to make his international debut after an impressive season during which he helped the Robins reach both the Betfred Challenge Cup Final at Wembley and the Betfred Super League play-off semi-finals.

Lewis was previously part of the mid-season international squad but didn't feature back in April against France.

26th June 1996. England beat Wales 26-12 with Farrell as captain. 21 years and 27 days old.

Fair play to him. If Waney sees him as captain material then that’s all good in my books

Why is Wellens in the Tonga camp?

What a ball from Welsby for the Johnstone try.

What’s happened to Bateman? Absolutely garbage.

Agreed. Bateman is a shadow of his former self

Shaun Wane had a pop at Wellens in his pre-match interview as well for deciding to go with Tonga. The more I see of Wellens as a coach, the more I think he’s just Woolfe’s poodle and can’t be his own man. Being with Tonga pretty much confirms that.
