The Rugby Football League has announced plans aimed at preventing a repeat of England’s disappointing performance at the Rugby League World Cups, after both the men’s and women’s teams were eliminated during the group stage.
The announcements follow a difficult campaign for England across both tournaments. Neither team progressed beyond the opening stage, prompting the RFL to set out measures designed to address the outcome and improve future performances.
The supplied information does not detail the individual measures included in the plans, or explain when they will be implemented. It confirms, however, that the governing body intends to use the early exits as the basis for action ahead of future World Cup campaigns.
The latest position is that the RFL has announced its plans, with further detail needed to assess how they will affect England’s men’s and women’s international programmes.
