Exiles game at Galpharm Stadium

England‘s second clash with the Exiles in 2012 will be held at Huddersfield’s Galpharm Stadium on July 4th (7.45pm).

It will be England‘s first game at the ground since the 20-12 win over New Zealand in the 2009 Four Nations.

The first game will take place at Langtree Park, St Helens on Saturday June 16th.

“It’s great that representative action is returning to the Galpharm Stadium, it’s a fantastic facility and I’m sure it will help bring out the best in all the players involved,” said England coach Steve McNamara.

“There’s a real appetite to be involved in the International Origin Series from every player in Super League and with two fixtures to play I think we will see the intensity reach new heights this summer.”

The Exiles will be coached by Daniel Anderson in 2012, and captained by Warrington full-back Brett Hodgson.

“Many of our players have strong memories of matches at the Galpharm Stadium and it’s fantastic news that we’ll be following up the opening match at Langtree Park with the second fixture at another outstanding venue,” said Anderson.

Tickets for both matches in the International Origin Series are now on general sale and can be purchased through the RFL Ticket office on 0844 856 1113 or by visiting www.rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk.
