England have a total of 10 players included in the three Teams of the Tournament unveiled by Rugby League World Cup organisers today – including four members of the Women’s squad whose journey ended in brave defeat at the Semi Final stage.
2022 Woman of Steel Tara-Jane Stanley is selected on the wing, and Wigan’s Vicky Molyneux earns a place in the second-row – capping a remarkable return to the squad for a player who made her England debut way back in 2007.
Courtney Winfield-Hill, Leeds’s Australia-born half-back who is one of the nominees for the Women’s Golden Boot, is named on the interchange bench, and the St Helens front-row Vicky Whitfield is rewarded for the impact she has made on the tournament with a starting place.
George Williams, Tom Burgess and Victor Radley are all selected in the Men’s team, while three members of the England squad who will go for World Cup glory against France in Friday night’s Final at Manchester Central – Seb Bechara, Jack Brown and Joe Coyd – are included in the Wheelchair line-up.
