England's coach Brian McDermott has announced the same 19-man squad for their upcoming Rugby League World Cup match against France, despite a disappointing loss to Tonga in their first game. The team will look to improve their chances of advancing to the semi-finals with this match in Perth.
AJ Brimson will continue as full-back, while Jack Welsby is included among the substitutes. The decision to maintain the squad reflects McDermott's confidence in the players as they prepare for this crucial encounter.
