Leeds winger Ryan Hall has described his England call-up for the international against France in Paris on 13 June as 'a great honour'.

Moore is one of three uncapped players in Tony Smith's 19-man squad.

Hall told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's a great honour every player dreams of and obviously I was nervous on Wednesday as I had an inkling I would be in.

"People had been saying I should be in line but I had no fingernails left by the end of the day."

"Every time I get a call from Tony [Smith] it's to promote happy things because when I got my promotion to the first team at Leeds he was the one to do that, so if I keep getting calls from Tony I'll be a happy lad.

"I feel like I've been playing really well and obviously I'm delighted."
