Emily Scarratt is in line to become the first England player to compete at five Rugby World Cups after being named in John Mitchell’s 32-player squad for next month’s tournament while scrum-half Natasha “Mo” Hunt has been selected after missing out under the previous coaching regime.
Hunt was a headline omission for England’s last Rugby World Cup tilt in New Zealand in 2022 but under Mitchell, who was appointed after they fell short in the Auckland showpiece final, the Gloucester-Hartpury No 9 has been a key feature of the starting XV.
