Shaun Kenny-Dowall has been named as the captain for Combined Nations All Stars ahead of their clash against England.

Ellery Hanley’s side face Shaun Wane’s England next weekend in a mid-season international test as preparations for the Rugby League World Cup. 

Hull KR skipper and former New Zealand international Kenny-Dowall will lead the side next Saturday at the Halliwell Jones Stadium.

Shaun Kenny-Dowall ‘buzzing’ to lead All Stars

“I’m buzzing,” said Kenny-Dowall.

“It’s going to be a massive honour and privilege to go in there this week and represent my club and the boys. I’m looking forward to getting into camp, meeting all the boys and having a great week.

“I’m very grateful and blessed for Ellery giving me the opportunity to come into camp and lead the boys out. I’m just over the moon to be a part of this and test myself against great players.”

England versus the Combined Nations All Stars is part of an international double-header also featuring England Women versus France.
