'No shirt is guaranteed' - England captain Rudge

Captain Emily Rudge says "no shirt is guaranteed" as England get ready to face Canada in the Women's Rugby League World Cup on Saturday.

A victory over the Ravens in Wigan would put the hosts on the verge of a place in the semi-finals.

"Every game we play is probably the biggest of our career," said the St Helens second-row.

"As this World Cup builds, we're really conscious we want to be playing because no shirt is guaranteed. It is huge for us as players. It is the biggest tournament we have been a part of and we want to make the most of it.

"It's nice to build on the back of that game [against Brazil]. With the short turnaround, we can quickly improve on things and I'm looking forward to getting back out there."

The Princess of Wales will attend the match at the DW Stadium, which is a double header, with England's men taking on Papua New Guinea in the quarter-finals straight after.

Catherine took over as royal patron of the RFL from Prince Harry in February, and this will be her first official engagement.

"It is so incredible - it will be special for everyone to have her there representing rugby league and England," added Rudge.

Head coach Craig Richards has included seven of the players who did not feature in the tournament opener, with 23-year-old Leeds Rhinos forward Zoe Hornby set for her debut against Canada.

"I think what the girls understand is that they won't play every minute of every game," said Richards

"We need to improve week on week. We'll build and improve. It may not always look like it because of the scoreboard, but we won't make some of the daft mistakes going for opportunities that are perhaps not there."

Winger Brittany Jones and full-back Nina Bui are set to come in for Canada, who lost 34-12 to Papua New Guinea in their opening match in Leeds.
