Six Saints Women in England squad to face Wales

Six of our St.Helens Women's players have been selected for England ahead of the international clash against Wales on Saturday, 2nd November 2024.

The match takes place at AMT Headingley Stadium in Leeds, with kick-off scheduled for 12pm as the first part of an international double-header with the England Men taking on Samoa at 2:30pm.

Jodie Cunningham as England captain heads up our Saints contingent in Stuart Barrow’s squad, with Zoe Harris, Katie Mottershead, Erin Stott, Paige Travis and Vicky Whitfield all named in the 20-woman team. Stott is one of six potential debutantes in the selection.

England Women Rugby League Head Coach, Stuart Barrow says: “We’ve just played another competitive Origin fixture at Boundary Park which was a fantastic experience for the players and staff involved and now we’re in a good position heading into our clash against Wales.

“With the squad currently carrying a number of long-term injuries and some players unavailable, today’s squad is very much a transitional one, but we have a great mix of youth and experience heading into camp next Wednesday. I’m confident that some of the younger girls coming in will be able to learn a lot from the likes of Jodie Cunningham, Amy Hardcastle and Shona Hoyle.

“We have a big couple of years ahead of us as a group which includes a historic Ashes Series against Australia in 2025, so I think it’s very exciting that we have so many new names breaking into the squad who will hopefully be with us for many more years to come.”

November’s fixture will be the eighth time that England Women have played in front of a home crowd since 2020 – evidence of the continuing development of the women’s international game since the England team played its first game in 2007.
