<\/p>\nEngland need a new head coach ahead of this year’s Rugby League World Cup.<\/p>\n
Willie Peters is interested in conversations surrounding the vacant England job.<\/p>\n
Willie Peters\u2019 name continues to gather momentum in discussions surrounding the vacant England head coach role, with one of his most trusted lieutenants believing the Hull KR<\/a> boss would be an outstanding fit.<\/p>\n Peters has already expressed a desire to learn more about the position<\/a> and is open to conversations ahead of this year\u2019s Rugby League<\/a> World Cup Down Under.<\/p>\n After six years in charge, Shaun Wane stepped down from the role, with the Rugby Football League confirming that the position will revert to a part-time post.<\/p>\n Hull KR captain Elliot Minchella has joined the growing calls for Peters to be considered, following a historic 2025 campaign in which the Robins claimed every piece of silverware on offer.<\/p>\n Peters later joined Kevin Walters\u2019 Australia coaching staff for the 2025 Ashes series, underlining his appetite for the international game.<\/p>\n England will travel to Australia at the end of the domestic season for the World Cup tournament, set to open their campaign against Tonga on October 17, before taking on France and Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019d be supportive,\u201d Rovers skipper Minchella told Hull Live.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a coach, I think his record speaks for itself. I\u2019ve worked with him every day and the detail he has and the care – he\u2019s the best coach I\u2019ve worked with.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t see how that would be a negative appointment. The level of detail he\u2019s got, and he\u2019s worked with Australia in the Ashes. It\u2019s only positive.\u201d<\/p>\n
