Women\u2019s team.<\/p>\n<p>Saints and England captain Jodie Cunningham heads up our selected players, despite missing last Saturday\u2019s Origin match due to a slight hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<p>It is a first senior international call-up for 22-year-old Phoebe Hook, who has previously been part of England\u2019s training camps, but could now be in line to earn her first international cap on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Emily Rudge has been recalled into the England team, after missing out the last squad that travelled to Las Vegas to face Australia back in March.<\/p>\n<p>Saints hooker Katie Mottershead and prop Vicky Whitfield, who captained Lancashire at this past weekend\u2019s Origin fixture, are also named by Barrow for the game against Wales.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday will be England\u2019s first trip to Wales since 2022, with both teams preparing for the Rugby League World Cup in Australia in late 2026 \u2013 which will be Wales\u2019s first appearance in the tournament.<\/p>\n<p>England Women Head Coach, Stuart Barrow, says: \u201cIt\u2019s been incredibly difficult to decide who will travel to face Wales this Saturday especially after we have just played a really intense Origin fixture that pushed both sides to their limits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a strong squad going into the fixture and we\u2019re looking forward to returning to Wales for the first time since 2022 as we continue our preparations for next year\u2019s World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have some new names coming into the squad which reflects the form shown in Super League this year and it\u2019s going to be really exciting for everyone involved welcoming them into camp \u2013 I\u2019ll be looking to the senior internationals to help settle them in and show them what it means to be an England player.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tickets for the fixture against Wales are <a href=\"https:\/\/wrl.wales\/tickets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on sale here<\/a>, priced
