England have named an experienced squad for the Women’s Rugby World Cup, which begins in France next month.
Fly-half Katy Mclean will captain England, runners-up in the 2010 tournament, with five players taking part in their third World Cup.

Flanker Margaret Alphonsi, centre Rachael Burford, lock Tamara Taylor, full-back Danielle Waterman and prop Rochelle Clark were all involved in the 2006 and 2010 tournaments and seven more played in 2010, while nine are set to make their World Cup debuts.
Clark is the most-capped player in the group after being involved in 91 international matches.
Head coach Gary Street said: ‘This is a really exciting and strong squad going into a World Cup.
‘We have a good balance of new, fresh players hungry for their first World Cup experience but also several more experienced heads.’
England’s first game is against Samoa on August 1 in Marcoussis.
