St Hilaire replaces the injured Anthony Stewart

Marcus St Hilaire has been called up by England for next weekend's World Sevens tournament in Sydney.

The Huddersfield Giants winger, who celebrates his 26th birthday on Sunday, replaces injured St Helens star Anthony Stewart.

St Hilaire's call-up means he has achieved a unique double after representing England in the rugby union sevens tournament at last year's Commonwealth Games.

"We know what Marcus can do, he's got genuine pace and we're confident he'll do really well," said England coach Mike Gregory.
