England Youth coach Stuart Barrow has made six changes in an 18-man squad to face France in the second Test at Wakefield’s Rapid Solicitors Stadium today (2.30pm).

The former Bulls employee’s squad fell to a closely-fought 34-26 defeat in the opening Test against France on Good Friday but Barrow is confident the squad will bounce back from that result.

“There are a lot of positives to take from Friday’s game,” said Barrow.

“It was entertaining and it showed the talent that we have in the squad and it also shows how well France are developing their players at this age level as well..”

The England squad includes Stanningley’s Ash Golding and Sam Hallas.
