Heath L’Estrange has been named in the Exiles’ starting line-up for the International Origin Match against England at Warrington on Friday.

The Bulls’ joint-captain helped Brian McClennan’s team to victory over England at Huddersfield last year.

He has now been handed another chance to shine against Steve McNamara’s men after Warrington hooker Michael Monaghan withdrew due to injury.

Six Super League players are set to make their Exiles debuts alongside Sia Soliola of St Helens, the team’s only ever-present going into the fourth match between the sides.

Hull Kingston Rovers duo Michael Dobson and Travis Burns will make their debuts at half-back, with clubmate Mickey Paea making his from the bench.

Also making their Exiles bows are Catalan Dragons’ Zeb Taia, Harrison Hansen of Wigan Warriors and London Broncos’ Chris Bailey.

Three Warrington Wolves players will be playing on home ground – including Brett Hodgson, a former State of Origin representative Down Under who will captain the Exiles for the second time.

Hodgson said: “I’m honoured to be captain. We’ve got a great side filled with a fantastic bunch of lads and I believe the passion is there.

“It makes it even better for the Warrington boys as we’ll be playing on our own turf.”

Former Leeds Rhinos and New Zealand Warriors coach McClennan said: “Our preparation has been good, the spirit’s excellent, confidence is high and we’ve got the players to do the job. England have got a very tough task ahead of them.

“We really want to produce a style of rugby that does the Exiles brand proud; the kind of rugby the Warrington fans are used to.

“I really hope they come out and support the match in huge numbers – even if they are supporting England.”
