Back Lee Smith and England to hit back
Are England due a performance?
Coach Tony Smith will demand a response from his England team against a tough New Zealand side after they were taken to the wire by Papua New Guinea and thrashed by Australia.
Lee Smith, Super League Grand Final man-of-the-match and England’s hat-trick hero against PNG, returns to the squad after missing the Australia game through injury. Smith looks a tempting price at 14/1 to score the first try as he attempts to inspire England to victory.
Qualification to the semis is almost guaranteed, with Australia highly unlikely to fall foul of Papua New Guinea. But England will still want to put in a confidence-boosting performance against their probable semi-final opponents.
