England head coach Brian McDermott adds Umyla Hanley and Hugo Savala to the England performance squad ahead of the Rugby League World Cup this autumn. Hanley, a centre for the Leigh Leopards, and Savala, a halfback for the Sydney Roosters, are named as new additions.

Both outlets report the change as part of preparations for the tournament. Sky News and Sky Sports focus on the same two players, their clubs, and their positions, presenting the announcement as an update to the wider squad ahead of the World Cup. No additional details are provided in the sources about selection criteria, other squad members, or any changes to coaching or match plans.
