Delaney Burns is vying for a spot in the England squad to face Australia this Saturday at the CorpAcq Stadium. The 24-year-old second-rower aims to earn her seventh international cap during the WXV Global Series. Burns has spent the current campaign fully integrated into the team, looking to leverage her experience in the line-out as the Red Roses manage the absence of several forwards. While not among the 32-contracted players this season, she remains focused on defensive improvement to maintain her place in the competitive group. Outside of international duty, she works with the Bristol Bears Foundation to support community rugby initiatives.
