RESULTS & FIXTURES
SCOTLAND boss Steve McCormack has backed his Bravehearts to upset the odds after naming his initial World Cup squad. Danny Brough, Peter Wallace and Lachlan Coote are all included, but the Scots are in a tough group with New Zealand, Tonga and Samoa. McCormack (left) said: “They won’t be intimidated by Tonga and New Zealand. We’ve played them before and matched them.” FORWARD Sam Brooks insists all the pressure is on Super League Leigh as part-time Featherstone kick off their campaign. Brooks (right) joined Rovers from Widnes last month and believes his new club have nothing to lose over the next seven weeks. “No one is expecting us to win, which allows us to focus on the way we want to play,” he said.
