Leeds Rhinos winger Ash Handley is refusing to give up on his dream of representing England at this year’s World Cup. Handley won his only England cap to date as a substitute in the 26-24 loss to the Combined Nations All Stars last June.
It was Shaun Wane’s first game in charge of England and his second match was the end-of-season win in France which Handley missed through injury. With the rearranged 2021 World Cup coming into clear focus, England will play an All Stars side coached by Ellery Hanley on June 18 in vital preparation for this autumn’s tournament.
Handley, arguably the Rhinos’ most consistent performer so far this season, is staying open-minded about his chances of making the cut for Wane’s World Cup squad. The 26-year-old told Rugby League live: “I just think playing well for Leeds has to be the main goal.
