England's women select five Australian NRLW players for the 2026 World Cup, marking a historic inclusion.
England's women will include Australian-based heritage players at a World Cup for the first time, with five NRLW stars selected for the 2026 tournament.
Coach Stuart Barrow's 23-player squad features Sydney Roosters second-rower Jasmin Strange, Canterbury Bulldogs prop Hope Millard, Newcastle Knights playmaker Georgia Roche, North Queensland fullback Fran Goldthorp and Canberra Raiders forward Hollie-Mae Dodd.
Strange, 23, is eligible for Australia, England and New Zealand but told Barrow she wanted to represent England, citing her family ties.
She is preparing for her fourth consecutive NRLW grand final, against the Broncos on Sunday.
