Rugby League: Tough preparation pleases Crabtree

Prop forward Eorl Crabtree is pleased with the way the England players have been preparing for the match against the Exiles.

The Huddersfield Giants star hopes to feature in coach Steve McNamara's 17-man squad for the game and is also keen to force his way into the England team for this autumn's World Cup. "The players have really knocked lumps out of each other, but that's exactly what's needed for a team to be successful," he said. "We'll all put the body on the line for one another when we're out there playing, but we have to be prepared to hurt each other at training." England are 8/15 with bet365 to win Friday's match while the Exiles can be backed at 11/8 to triumph.
