Widnes will give a debut to Australian forward Jack Buchanan in Sunday's Super League fixture against Huddersfield at the Select Security Stadium.

Betts has also called up 18-year-old loose forward Brad Walker, who has yet to make his Super League debut, while regular front-row pair Eamon O'Carroll and Gil Dudson drop out of the side that lost to Salford in Newcastle.
Huddersfield coach Paul Anderson is set to stick with the side that beat St Helens, with Scott Grix keeping Ryan Brierley out of the full-back role.
Sebastine Ikahihifo set to make his second appearance since joining from St George Illawarra Dragons.
