LAST week it was Neil Turley flying the flag for Leigh and the NFP in a representative fixture - now Dave Bradbury and Liam Bretherton are following suit.

Prop Bradbury and half-back Bretherton have been named in the 17-man Ireland squad that plays France in Albi on June 26.

They are the only non-Super League players selected for the international and follows their inclusion in the Irish squad for last year's World Cup when Ireland reached the quarter-finals.

The match in France comes just two days after Leigh's crucial league clash with Featherstone Rovers at Hilton Park - but both will be available for the Centurions' before the Irish party flies out to the south of France.

"All players in the Irish squad will be available for their respective clubs on that weekend before teaming up on the Monday," says Leigh coach Paul Terzis.
