England coach Shaun Wane has today named his final squad to take on Samoa in a pair of tests later this month and early in November.

Reigning Man of Steel Mikey Lewis makes the cut, but teammate and fellow Dream Team member Elliot Michelle misses out, as does Leigh’s Robbie Mulhern, despite his impressive 2024 season.

The final squad includes five players from the quadruple-winning Wigan Warriors side, with uncapped players Junior Nsemba and Liam Marshall amongst them, as well as five Warrington Wolves players, and four from St Helens. The squad is also boosted with six Australian-based players who were unavailable for the test against France earlier this year.
