England's Squad Changes
Following defeats in the first two matches of the series, coach Shaun Wane plans to adjust his starting thirteen. Burgess, who played a key role in Hull KR's Treble-winning campaign, returns to the national team.
"It's a credit to him, he has a new lease of life at Hull KR. I am so happy to be able to give him a start. That means something to me." – Shaun Wane
"I like him – he is a personality and we need more of them, we are just guiding him in a certain way. I don't think we should shackle him. I like him showing his personality." – Shaun Wane
Harry Newman replaces Jake Wardle and will play at his home stadium. John Bateman is ruled out with an ankle injury, and Dom Young remains sidelined due to a broken foot.
Australia's Team Update
Australia makes a single change with captain Isaah Yeo returning after a head injury, while Lindsay Collins moves to the bench.
