The Red Roses have selected four Loughborough Lightning players in their 36-player squad for the home leg of the WXV Global Series.
Helena Rowland, Sadia Kabeya, Lilli Ives Campion and Haineala Lutui have been with England through the three week pre-season based at the University of Nottingham, before returning to London at The Lensbury to prepare for the first match against Australia at CorpAcq Stadium on Saturday 12 September.
A World Cup repeat with Canada is set to take place at Sandy Park, Exeter, a week later, before a mouth-watering encounter against New Zealand at Allianz Stadium in front of over 50,000 spectators.
Red Roses Head Coach John Mitchell said: “It’s been a positive pre-season in the way we have trained and the exposure we have given to players. The girls have worked hard to elevate their connections, making us stronger, and have driven high standards.
“We have trained above the game level with great intensity, and now we have an opportunity to excite ourselves, and the country, by the way we play rugby in three Test matches across the country.
“This squad is only four weeks old; there is plenty in the tank. This is an exciting period to get after.”
All three of the Red Roses' home WXV Global Series matches will be shown live on England Rugby's YouTube channel and BBC iPlayer.
