THE TEAM NEWS

ENGLAND

• England secured the series win with a game to spare thanks to seeing off the challenge of Tonga in a drab affair in Huddersfield last week.
• Shaun Wane’s side came out on top in woeful conditions and prevailed for the second game in succession but have been dealt plenty of injury blows in their search for a clean-sweep, although captain George Williams returns from a ban.

19-man squad: Matty Ashton, John Bateman, Tom Burgess, Daryl Clark, Ben Currie, Tyler Dupree, Chris Hill, Tom Johnstone, Matty Lees, Mike McMeeken, Robbie Mulhern, Harry Newman, Harry Smith, Morgan Smithies, Josh Thewlis, Danny Walker, Jack Welsby, Elliott Whitehead, George Williams

TONGA

• Tonga will be aiming to avoid a 3-0 series loss after they were beaten by England in their second encounter in what was a disappointing showing from the tourists.
• The under-strength Tongans have been largely underwhelming across the 160 minutes so far and may look to make a few changes for this third and final contest.

19-man squad: TBC

THE PREDICTION

England have already secured the series but will now be out to claim the whitewash of Tonga in this third game in Leeds. The tourists have not yet hit their straps but despite the hosts suffering some setbacks ahead of this final contest, it is hard to see them getting the better of the home side. England will field a side that contains several changes to the team that took to the field last week but they should still have enough to prevail and make it three straight wins over the Tongans.

BETTING TIP: England to win
