JAMES Graham, Jonny Lomax, James Roby and Jon Wilkin have been named in England’s 24-man squad for the 2011 Gillette Four Nations tournament.
They will be part of the side that faces Wales (October 29), Australia (November 5) and New Zealand (November 12).
The top two teams from the group matches will advance through to the Gillette Four Nations Final at Elland Road, Leeds on Saturday November 19.
“I am really happy with the balance of the squad,” head coach Steve McNamara said. “There is an excellent blend of strength, experience and flair and we have real quality in every department.
“For the squad and my coaching staff it is important to look forward and make sure we are fully prepared and ready for what should be an excellent Gillette Four Nations tournament.
“One of the pleasing aspects for me is the significant amount of home grown talent that has come through the Academy system. At least three quarters of the squad is made up of players that are Federation Trained and that just shows the strength we now have and the clear pathway we are trying to promote.”
