England v Wales: Vicky Molyneux named in England's squad and could earn first cap in 14 years

Wigan Warriors' loose forward Vicky Molyneux has been recalled to the England side for Friday's international against Wales and could earn her first cap for 14 years.

Molyneux, 33, last featured for England in a victory against France in 2007.

She has been named in Craig Richards' 19-player squad that includes five potential England debutants.

Teenagers Fran Goldthorp, Emma Lumley and Hollie Dodd are among the uncapped quintet.

Women's Challenge Cup-winning St Helens duo Beth Stott and Paige Travis could also be in line to make their international debuts at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Their Saints team-mate Emily Rudge has been confirmed as captain for the match.

England head coach Richards said he is excited to see what the international newcomers "can do on the big stage".

"I'm delighted to have been able to select a handful of players who could all make their international debuts," he said.

"This is a great opportunity for all of my players to put their best foot forward and show me they want to be in that squad ahead of the rugby league World Cup later this year."
