England bring in three new faces

The England coach, Steve McNamara, has named three new caps to face France in Avignon tomorrow, with all his new imports making their debuts.

The Yorkshire-born Brisbane centre Jack Reed starts in the three-quarter line, Chris Heighington is at loose forward, with Rangi Chase partnering Kevin Sinfield at half-back. "They are all here for the right reasons," said forward Adrian Morley.

Huddersfield have signed the former Hull utility man Tommy Lee from Wakefield.
