It is a great chance for them both.

Johnstone will have opposition fans looking for the smallest chink in his armour to moan about. This is a great game for him to show what he can do. Especially if it opens up later in the game.

Lyne will have more pressure with other centres being available for the New Zealand games. I really hope he takes his chance. Tom will probably get other chances. I suspect this is Reece's big opportunity.

Hope they both grab it and hold on.

The injury to Sam Burgess looks to have forced Bateman back in to the second row so I'd say this is a huge chance for Lyne ahead of the NZ series though Makinson doesn't play tomorrow and they tried him at centre in Denver.

Same here wrencat regarding internationals , hoping to watch it on “ our league “ site, can’t wait to see 2 Wakey lads in the England side. Toms mum and dad will be so proud when he walks out after the setbacks he’s had

I am sure I remember Rooney and Atkins playing in the same England side, probably around 06/07 although I might be making it up in my own head!

Great News well done boys - good lick.

And well done to the club to.

Are you Crabtree off 'Allo 'Allo?

Met Tom's parents in a petrol station on the way to that horrible match against Sheffield in 2015. His Dad was fit to bust with pride in him then, can only imagine where he is at now

And Ferres played Tonga in a final at widnes

Glad Lyne is on the inside of Johnstone and not Percival.

Why? I thought the opposite.
