Wales World Cup prop Craig Kopczak is the most notable omission from the Huddersfield Giants’ 19-man squad for Thursday’s home Super League clash against champions Wigan Warriors.

The Welsh captain was in the side that suffered the bitterly disappointing 41-22 defeat at St Helens on Friday night and looks to have paid the price.

Giants: Scott Grix, Jermaine McGillvary, Leroy Cudjoe, Joe Wardle, Aaron Murphy, Danny Brough, Luke Robinson, Eorl Crabtree, Shaun Lunt, Brett Ferres, Jason Chan, Chris Bailey, Michael Lawrence, Larne Patrick, David Faiumu, Ukuma Ta’ai, Kyle Wood, Anthony Mullally, Ben Blackmore.

Referee: Ben Thaler.

Video Referee: Richard Silverwood.
