INTERNATIONAL: Tom Hopkins made his debut for Wales
BARROW Raiders forward Tom Hopkins stepped onto the pitch as an international player for the first time on Saturday after being selected to play for Wales.
29-year-old Hopkins was selected by Wales head coach John Kaer for their 34-10 defeat against France in a test match played in Albi.
The match was the first time that Wales had played a game of Rugby League in over 1,300 days, the long period of inactivity caused largely by the Covid pandemic.
