Eleven Warrington Wolves players to feature in Rugby League World Cup

New prop signing Roy Asotasi is in the ranks of Samoa, whose first group game at The Halliwell Jones Stadium on Sunday, October 27, will be against holders New Zealand - who have now added Sonny Bill Williams to the squad they declared earlier this week.

Chris Hill and Ben Westwood are currently in South Africa, in camp with England.

Wolves have five in the Ireland squad - Danny Bridge, Ben Currie, Simon Grix, Tyrone McCarthy and James Mendeika - while Simon Finnigan was born in Warrington.

Three Wolves players feature for Wales, while Jacob Emmitt is a former Lymm High School pupil.

Scotland pair Ben Hellwell and Alex Hurst were both on Wolves' books at one stage, while rising star James Saltonstall is Wolves' sole representative in the Italy squad.
