England and Wales will both compete at the Women's Rugby League World Cup in Australia in October 2026. Wales head coach Thomas Brindle - who saw his side beat Scotland 18-12 last weekend - believes his team are making progress as they prepare for that tournament. "I'm massively proud of the effort of the girls. They've worked really hard. The things we've worked on, they've done, which I'm really happy with, because it shows we've got loads of potential," he told S4C. "We've got to get fitter, faster, stronger. That makes us more competitive, that game, but where we are at the moment, they've done everything to their absolute maximum. I can't ask for more."
