Leeds Rhinos centre Harry Newman has been included in England’s 19-man squad for the second Test against Tonga at Huddersfield on Saturday.
Newman, who is from Huddersfield, made his England debut in last Sunday’s 22-18 win in the opening game of the series at St Helens. England boss Shaun Wane has made two changes to his initial squad, with Warrington Wolves’ winger Matty Ashton and forward Ben Currie set to feature this weekend. Ashton replaces Tommy Makinson and Currie will take over from another St Helens man Morgan Knowles . Knowles will also miss the final Test at AMT Headingley on Saturday, November 5.
Wane said: “Matty Ashton impressed me earlier in the year during the mid-season international against France and has continued on the same path over the last few weeks. I’m really pleased to be able to give him an opportunity against Tonga. “Last week was a real battle of attrition and we fought hard to come out on top, but we still have work to do to win this three-game series. “We know Tonga will be hurt, they’ll come out even stronger and will be seeking revenge this weekend.
