England Women Head Coach Stuart Barrow has selected 10 Saints in his 31-player strong train-on squad ahead of their historic clash against the Australia Jillaroos in Las Vegas (March 1).

Four players of those Saints were in the last England side to fac. e the Jillaroos in the teams' last meeting back in 2017 - Jodie Cunningham, Amy Hardcastle, Shona Hoyle and Emily Rudge. The latter of those was also in the starting line-up for England when they faced Australia in the 2013 World Cup.

The other Saints included are new signing from Leeds Caitlin Casey, wing Phoebe Hook, stand off Zoe Harris, hooker Katie Mottershead, centre Erin Stott and prop Vicky Whitfield.

England Women will gather for their first training session on Saturday 7 December with the team meeting up twice a month during the build-up to Vegas with a 20-player travelling squad set to be announced in February.

Head Coach Stuart Barrow said: “We’ve had a few weeks to recuperate following the Autumn international against Wales but now all eyes are firmly on the Jillaroos.

“With the fixture coming before the beginning of the Betfred Women’s Super League we have a regular training schedule from now until mid-February to make sure we’re match ready.

“Everyone in this squad has a chance to earn themselves a spot on the plane to Vegas and that is a testament to the quality we have within the group.”

England Women versus the Australia Jillaroos will be the penultimate match of a quadruple header at the Allegiant Stadium featuring a Betfred Super League clash between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves and two NRL matches - Raiders v Warriors and Panthers v Sharks.
