England to play France and the
Kiwis

England have organised home internationals against France and New Zealand this autumn. Karl Harrison's team will play France at Headingley on 23 October and then take on New Zealand at Warrington's Halliwell Jones Stadium on 6 November.

"These two fixtures will provide a massive test for the players in the England squad," said Harrison.

"France are certain to be challenging opponents this year and the Kiwis are one of the best sides in the world."
