HEADINGLEY MISSION: Leeds Rhinos' Harry Newman is put through his paces in England training this week.

Today’s final ABK Beer Ashes Test will be Newman’s sixth England cap and third on home turf at AMT Headingley. The series is already lost, with the Kangaroos 2-0 up, but Newman reckons an England victory would be the ideal start to preparations for next year’s World Cup, for him and the team.

He stressed: “If you want to win a World Cup, you're going to have to beat Australia at some point. Playing well against them is something I'll be looking to do. I just want to go out there, give my all for the team and put my best foot forward.
