Players from Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers & Hunslet set for international duty in West Yorkshire Tests
Players from Leeds Rhinos, Castleford Tigers and Hunslet RLFC will be involved in two separate internationals being played in Featherstone tomorrow (Saturday).
Rhinos’ Grace Field and Kaiya Glynn have been named in the Scotland women’s squad to face Jamaica at Featherstone Lions’ Millpond base (noon). Chevelle Clarke, of Leeds Beckett University, is on duty for Jamaica.
Two hours later, Ireland men take on Wales at Millennium Stadium, home ground of Featherstone Rovers. The full international, for world ranking points, is a rematch of last weekend’s clash which Wales won 24-0 in Neath.
Wales’ squad includes Tigers academy and reserves back-rower Sam Grice, alongside winger Lloyd McEwan-Peters, who joined Hunslet this year from Keighley Cougars. Both featured in last Saturday’s game, with McEwan-Peters scoring the opening try. Ireland are coached by Featherstone assistant-boss Ged Corcoran.
