ALL four Warrington Wolves players have been named in England's 19-man squad for Saturday's World Cup semi final against New Zealand at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane.

Both Higham and Westwood made their World Cup debuts in the defeat to New Zealand in Saturday's group one defeat to the Kiwis in Newcastle.
There is no place in the 19 for St Helens' Ade Gardner, who opened the campaign as Gleeson's wing partner, and Leeds stand off Danny McGuire.
