George Williams says England’s “cliquey” days are over and their “one team” ethos could drive them to World Cup glory.
The national team are just 80 minutes away from a second successive final. Shaun Wane’s men face Samoa in Saturday’s crunch semi at Emirates Stadium with Australia or New Zealand awaiting the victors. Warrington half-back Williams, 27, has played under Steve McNamara and Wayne Bennett for England but says life in the current regime is the best yet.
His ex-Wigan boss Wane has organised family days where players’ kids attend training and the squad also attended the National Memorial Arboretum on Monday to pay their respects to the fallen members of the armed forces. Williams said: “It does feel as one. It feels whole. There’s lads from different clubs and when I first got into the England system it was a bit cliquey.
