SEVEN Worcester Valkyries players have been named in the England Women squad to tour the USA this summer.

Bianca Blackburn, Rochelle Clark, Lark Davies, Courtney Gill, Laura Keates, Ceri Large and Lydia Thompson are part of the 26-strong team which flew to Salt Lake City, Utah on Monday ahead of the Super Series Tour.

The squad holds a total of 682 caps between them, with Worcester prop Keates looking to gain her 50th cap after returning from injury.

Using the University of Utah as a training base, England will come up against Canada this Friday, USA next Tuesday and France next Saturday at the city’s Regional Athletic Complex.




Head coach Scott Bemand said: “This tour is an important opportunity for the girls to come together and play some of the top sides in the world.

“For those who haven’t been through the World Cup environment previously, they will experience everything there is around the tight turnaround of games during the tour.”


All games kick-off at 10pm UK time and will be broadcast live on TheRugbyChannel.TV.
