Two players from Cumbrian clubs have been handed their first international call-up by Welsh coach John Kear.

Tom Hopkins (Barrow) and Will Evans (Whitehaven) are included for the first time in the Wales 21-man squad to face France on Sunday.

Workington Town will be represented by the Davies twins, Connor and Curtis, who have each won three caps in the past.

David Weetman (Town) and Calvin Wellington, the former Town back now at Oldham, were in the 30-man training squad last week but have missed out on final selection.

The game will take place in Albi on Sunday 19 June, with kick-off at 2.30pm (3.30pm local time).

The game will be the first full international for Wales’ men in more than 1,300 days, since beating Ireland to qualify for the upcoming World Cup in 2018.

The 21-man squad in full:

  • Bailey Antrobus* (York City Knights)
  • Joe Burke (West Wales Raiders)
  • Chester Butler (Huddersfield Giants – on loan at Bradford Bulls)
  • Michael Butt (Swinton Lions)
  • Connor Davies (Workington Town)
  • Curtis Davies (Workington Town)
  • Will Evans* (Whitehaven)
  • Ben Evans (Bradford Bulls)
  • Kyle Evans* (Wakefield Trinity)
  • Jude Ferreira* (Hull FC – on loan London Broncos)
  • Matty Fozard (Widnes Vikings)
  • Dalton Grant (London Broncos)
  • Cobi Green* (Rochdale Hornets)
  • Tom Hopkins* (Barrow Raiders)
  • Lewis Hulme* (Widnes Vikings)
  • Elliot Kear (Bradford Bulls)
  • Owen Restall* (Oldham Roughyeds)
  • Luis Roberts* (Leigh Centurions)
  • Luke Thomas* (Warrington Wolves)
  • Anthony Walker (Bradford Bulls)
  • Rhys Williams (c) (Salford Red Devils).
