SAINTS centre Mark Percival will get a first World Cup run out when England take on France at nib Stadium, Perth on Sunday, November 12.

Wayne Bennett includes the Saints three-quarter after confirming he wanted to give all 24 players some game time.

Percival played for England in last year's Four Nations, but missed out on the mid season test against Samoa despite travelling to Australia in May.

Kevin Brown, Mike McMeeken and Scott Taylor into the starting 17 for the final pool game of Group A.

England’s last game against France was a 40–6 victory in Avignon ahead of the 2016 Four Nations tournament. Taylor, Ratchford, Gale and Percival all made their Test debuts and Widdop scored 16 points during this fixture.

Alex Walmsley, who made his England Test debut against Lebanon last week, retains his place in the squad after impressing against the Cedars. James Roby returns to the starting team after missing last week and Gareth Widdop deputises for full back Jonny Lomax, who is recovering from a calf strain.

Head Coach, Wayne Bennett, said: “I was pleased with the win against Lebanon but I’m looking for a better performance this week.

“We lost our way in the second-half in the last game and that’s something we’ll be looking to improve on. We know what we’re capable of, so we’ll be aiming to put things right by Sunday.

“We’re off the mark now in this tournament and building each week. I know France have lost their first two games but that won’t alter the way we go into this one – they’re a strong side with some talented guys who can play. They’ll be doing everything they can to get a win in this group so we’ll have to be at our best.”
