Wane Names Provisional Squad for Samoa Test Series England Head Coach Shaun Wane has named a 31-strong performance squad ahead of this autumn's two-game series against Samoa, with the selected players set to meet for an off-field session on Monday 16 September.
Wigan Warriors breakout star Junior Nsemba is the newest name included – and the youngest player in the squad, after turning 20 in June - after some standout performances for the reigning Betfred Super League, Challenge Cup and World Club Challenge champions.
Nsemba's Wigan team-mate Liam Marshall is the only other uncapped player included with the Warriors flyer leading the try-scoring charts in the Betfred Super League with 22 tries: five more than his nearest challenger*.

As well as Hill, Bateman, Newman. I`m not so sure Dupree or Havard have done a right lot lately even though I rate both of them. But not much out there to replace them. Pity they didn`t let the likes of Rourke and Leyland into the squad even if it was for the experience. I also thought Johnstone was injured?

Although they are the best team in the Comp and have a lot of English players. Whilst it`s always good to win an International series I personally would have liked to see a number of fringe players given a chance to show what they can do.
