The Test centre is nursing a groin strain and though it is not thought to be serious, he misses the game at the Mobile Rocket Stadium - adding to a long list of star absentees.

Bevan French, Jai Field and Dom Manfredi are also injured, Liam Farrell, John Bateman and Jackson Hastings miss out as they are involved in tomorrow's England-All Stars match, and Brad Singleton, Tony Clubb and Zak Hardaker are suspended.
