Calderwood given his chance at Quins
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The former Test wingman Mark Calderwood could get the chance to play for his career tomorrow night – on the ground where it all started.
The GB and England flyer has been on a month's trial at Harlequins after being released by Hull, but did not play in either of their Super League games so far. Now, with his month coming to an end, he has been drafted into Quins' squad to face Leeds at Headingley.
Calderwood comes into the reckoning in place of Lamont Bryan, for a contest that will put the winners on top of the table with the current leaders Castleford idle. His hope is that he can persuade Quins to extend his trial.
Leeds will be without the centre Brett Delaney, who is likely to be out for six weeks with an ankle injury. Carl Ablett is sidelined for three weeks with a knee problem.
Wigan's World Club Challenge match against St George Illawarra is to be refereed by the Frenchman Thierry Alibert.
The England captain, James Graham, will return to the St Helens front row for tomorrow night's game against Warrington – the first at their temporary home at Widnes. Graham missed last Friday's win at Salford with a sore shoulder.
