And while the player isn't happy after missing out on the real thing – the World Cup in Australia – he will feature in the warm-up game at the Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster.

Fielden has pledged to stay positive and give his all for his country even though he didn't make the final cut.

The former Great Britain forward and the game's costliest player was included in the original train-on squad, but was over-looked when England coach Tony Smith named his final group of 24 players earlier this week.

Fielden said: "Obviously I'm not happy to be left out of the World Cup squad, but I'm not really thinking about it. I'm just focusing on the game against Wales.

"I'll be capped for the 30th time tomorrow, and not many players can say they have achieved that, so I'm going to concentrate all my efforts there."

Smith will not name any Leeds or St Helens players in the side playing at Doncaster, preferring to rest them all after their Grand Final exertions.

Fielden's Wigan colleagues Gareth Hock, Micky Higham and Mark Calderwood have been picked for the World Cup and should play tomorrow.
Calderwood has admitted his World Cup gamble has paid off.

The winger was originally called up by Scotland, but turned his back on Steve McCormack's team when he was offered a place in England's initial squad.
