Marlie Packer, England’s most-capped active player, will miss the upcoming WXV Global Series matches in North America later this month. The squad will face both Canada and the United States during the tour.
The absence of Packer represents a significant change for the Red Roses as they prepare for the international fixtures. As the team's most experienced active member, her participation has been a notable feature of recent campaigns.
The WXV Global Series serves as a key competitive platform for women’s rugby, bringing together top national teams. The upcoming schedule includes two high-profile encounters against North American opponents.
England’s selection for the tour will proceed without Packer, leaving the remaining squad members to carry the load in these important matches. The team is set to travel to North America to compete in the series later this month.
