SHAUN WANE has vowed to give some of Super League's top young talent the chance to shine for England.
The national boss (below) will get to see his side back in action when they take on France in Toulouse on Saturday week.
That will be their only action before a much-anticipated twoTest series with World Cup finalists Samoa in the autumn, so Wane could be forgiven for naming his strongest side.
But Wane is keen to see some of the next generation of potential internationals get a crack - which will excite the likes of uncapped St Helens novice prop George Delaney, 20, and Wigan hooker Brad O'Neill, 21.
Wane, who steered England to a 3-0 home series win over Tonga last autumn, did not go as far as saying who will debut when speaking to the press yesterday.
