WOMEN'S rugby star Emily Cook was delighted this week to learn she had been selected for England for the forthcoming Churchill Cup contest in Canada.

The women's rugby team will accompany their male counterparts for the tournament in June involving Canada, the USA and England.

Emily has made excellent progress since suffering a knee injury in a match for her club side Richmond, and is confident of reproducing the form which helped England reach the final of the women's sevens tournament earlier this year in Hong Kong.
