BARLA Great Britain Under-23s coaches Kevin Thompson and Kevin Armitstead have confirmed their 20-man squad for Tuesday evening’s ‘trial’ fixture with England Students at College Grove, Wakefield (7.00pm).

The match is being used as part of the build-up to the tour of Italy in June, when the side will play Tests against Italy and France, and defend the Simone Franchini Nines, and Thompson said: “We are using the game primarily as a means of having a good look at players we don’t yet know a great deal about, although a number of lads have been included who were on last year’s trip.”

The 20 for Wakefield are: Carl Booth, Ashley James (both Myton Warriors), Richard Cattley (Stanley Rangers), Lee Edwards (Barrow Island), Mark Embleton (Castleford Panthers), John Astbury (Castleford Lock Lane), Scott Lofthouse (Kells), Richard Farrer (Egremont), Andrew Greaves (Normanton Knights), Scott Green (Thornhill Trojans), Mark Jones (Leigh Miners Rangers), Tom Hill, Danny Caldwell, David Burns (York Acorn), Andy Williamson (Oulton Raiders), Jonathon Milner (Queens), Ryan Peters (Leigh East), Dean Thompson (West Hull), Kyle Lofthouse (Ellenborough), Tom Malyan (Crigglestone).
