Wane names England squad for historic Tonga series England Head Coach Shaun Wane has named his 24-player squad for the upcoming three-game series against Tonga.
This historic series – the first between the two nations and their first meeting since the epic 2017 World Cup semi-final in Auckland – will see England host Tonga this Sunday at St Helens' Totally Wicked Stadium, before meetings at Huddersfield's John Smith's Stadium (Saturday 28 October) and at the AMT Headingley Rugby Stadium, Leeds, on Saturday 4 November with all games kicking off at half past two.
Wane names five NRL players who also featured in last autumn's World Cup campaign, including winger Dom Young – the NRL's leading try-scorer in his last season with Newcastle Knights – John Bateman, Tom Burgess, Victor Radley and Elliott Whitehead.

I know you are spitting your dummy out because no Leigh player made the squad but Wane is a highly respected SL winning coach. You’re just an armchair fan.
