ENGLAND Rugby League’s proposed trip to Dubai at the beginning of January to take part in a warm weather training camp has been cancelled.

Following further discussions with Super League Clubs, the England coaching staff and RFL have reflected on all views and concluded that the plans that are now in place would not deliver what was initially expected.

Warrington Wolves hooker Daryl Clark and stand-off signing Kevin Brown were due to take part, while Chris Hill, Mike Cooper, Stefan Ratchford and Ben Currie had also been invited but declined due to injuries.

The England team are now completely focused on the mid-season Test in May and their preparations for the World Cup in late 2017.
