England Men name squad for Rugby League World Cup fixture against France

England Men's Head Coach Brian McDermott has named his squad for the Rugby League World Cup fixture against France, scheduled for Saturday in Perth with a 7:35 kickoff. The only change from the 22-man squad that faced Tonga in the World Cup opener is Leeds Rhinos' Kallum Watkins replacing Morgan Knowles, who withdrew late last week due to injury and has not yet recovered. McDermott has provisionally selected the same matchday 19 as the previous match, with England looking to record their first win of the tournament.
