England’s preparations for their final Rugby League World Cup group game with Greece have been aided by a motivational speech from football’s Stuart Pearce. The 60-year-old, who represented England at two major tournaments as a player, was invited into camp on Wednesday to share his experiences of representing his country at the highest level.
Pearce is a keen rugby league supporter and with Shaun Wane, the England coach, having also forged links with Gareth Southgate in recent years, Wane said he is keen for his players to experience insight from as many different sports as possible.
