England coach Wayne Bennett has made four changes to his side for Saturdays Ladbrokes Four Nations opener against New Zealand at Huddersfield. St Helens centre Mark Percival and Hull prop Scott Taylor, who made their Test debuts against France in Avignon last Saturday, are the notable omissions from the team that won 40-6 in Bennetts first match in charge.Also discarded from that team are Widnes stand-off Kevin Brown and Warrington utility player Stefan Ratchford, who were on the bench at Parc des Sports. The remaining 13 are joined by new skipper Sam Burgess, suspended for the France game, and Super League Grand Finalists Dan Sarginson, Chris Hill, John Bateman, Liam Farrell and George Williams.It will be Burgess first appearance since the World Cup semi-final defeat by the Kiwis at Wembley in 2013 while Sarginson is recalled after a two-year absence. Tony Rae has tipped Wayne Bennett to turn England into contenders to win this years Four Nations Sarginson will be vying with Jonny Lomax for the full-back spot but could also take the vacant centre berth unless Bennett follows the example of his predecessor Steve McNamara by playing second rower John Bateman in the three-quarters.The other poser is whether the coach will stick with a half-back pairing of Gareth Widdop and Luke Gale or bring in George Williams, a player he is known to admire.Bennett said: I was pleased with the way the players conducted themselves last week in France and the hard work they put in. Englands Sam Burgess (centre left) is joined by the three other Four Nations skippers Theres things weve looked at in the game and worked on this week. The boys know the pressure and the intensity will rise as we get closer to Saturday - its a challenge were all looking forward to.Weve got a strong squad here who are ready to go and desperate to play to show us what they can do which is good to see.Sams also back from suspension and ready to pull on the England rugby league shirt. Its been a few years since he played over here and Im sure the sell-out crowd at Huddersfield will be keen to see him out there.
