GIANTS duo Kevin Brown and Shaun Lunt have been drafted in as cover to England’s squad for Saturday’s international against France at Leigh.

The uncapped pair have been placed on standby in case Leeds Rhinos pair Danny McGuire and Kevin Sinfield fail to recover from knee injuries.

They went for scans to determine the extent of the injuries and the England management will get the results shortly.

If they are ruled out stand-off Brown, 25, and hooker Lunt, 23, could win their first caps at Leigh Sports Village but, if both McGuire and Sinfield are passed fit, they will return to Huddersfield to prepare for Friday’s League game at St Helens.
