Wales Rugby League World Cup squad includes three sets of brothers, two pairs of twins and a player who retired due to brain abnormality

Wales' squad for the Rugby League World Cup has been confirmed and it includes two sets of twins, plus another two brothers.

Also present in John Kear's 24-man squad is Anthony Walker, who was ruled out of the 2017 global gathering in Australia when a brain abnormality that had been with him since birth was discovered just days before the event. He was forced to retire from the sport but was given the all clear to return in 2020 and is back in the international arena.

Ben and Rhys Evans became the first ever twins to represent Wales at a Rugby League World Cup in 2013 and they return once again this time around. They are joined this time by twins Connor and Curtis Davies. Completing the trio of siblings are brothers James and Ollie Olds, who both play their club rugby in Australia.
