Eleven of the St.Helens Women's team have been included in the two regional training squads (Lancashire & Yorkshire) ahead of the Women's Origin fixture on Saturday, 2nd August at Sewell Group Craven Park.
St.Helens are well represented in the Lancashire squad, with eight of our players selected. England and Saints captain Jodie Cunningham is joined in the Red Rose side by Zoe Harris, Luci McColm, Katie Mottershead, Emily Rudge, Beri Salihi, Darcy Stott and Vicky Whitfield.
Saints centre Luci McColm is included for the first time alongside ten of her teammates following a standout performance against Leigh Leopards last Saturday.

For the White Rose team, St.Helens have three women chosen to feature and they are Caitlin Casey, Phoebe Hook, and Shona Hoyle.
