Loose forward Sean O'Loughlin will miss England's Autumn International with France at New Craven Park on Saturday due to a hamstring strain.

McNamara is still monitoring the fitness of Wigan full-back Sam Tomkins, Castleford half-back Rangi Chase and Warrington utility player Stefan Ratchford. Tomkins missed the end of the Super League season, as well as Saturday's opening international, with a knee injury while Chase picked up a groin injury on England's training camp in South Africa. Ratchford was not considered for the Wales game due to illness. Chase was initially ruled out of the tournament but a second scan showed the injury was not as serious as first feared and he has reported back to the England camp in Loughborough.
