SARAH Hunter believes Marlie Packer still has an important role to play in England’s World Cup campaign, writes Milly McEvoy of Sportsbeat.

Packer, inset right, who had two spells with Bristol in 2007-09 and 2016-17, was replaced as captain by Zoe Aldcroft ahead of the 2025 Women’s Six Nations, with the back row playing two of England's five matches as they won the Grand Slam.

Despite her reduced role, former skipper Hunter, inset far right, who now works as England's defence coach, believes there is a place for Yeovil-born Packer in the squad.
