Australia name experienced squad for Women's Rugby World Cup
Australia on Monday unveiled an experienced squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup, retaining 17 players from the last tournament in New Zealand four years ago.
Sevens convert Charlotte Caslick was included in the 32-player party for the tournament in England later this month, despite nursing an ankle injury.
Wing Caitlin Urwin was the sole uncapped player in the squad, which also featured teenagers Caitlyn Halse, 18, and Waiaria Ellis, 17.
"We are very proud of the squad and the journey the players and staff have been on for the past two years to get to this point," Australia coach Jo Yapp said.
"We have a very special group of people within this squad, diverse in culture and a range of ages and levels of experience in the game."
Australia reached the quarter-finals at the 2021 World Cup in New Zealand, where they were knocked out by eventual runners-up England.
Australia's opening match is against Samoa in Salford on August 23 in a tricky Pool A.
England and the United States play the tournament's opening fixture in the same pool the day before.
Australia's other pool matches are against the USA in York on August 30 and England in Brighton on September 6.
