Shaun Wane: England coach steps down nine months before Rugby League World Cup

Advertisements

Shaun Wane has stepped down from his position as England coach, nine months before the Rugby League World Cup.

Former Wigan coach Wane, who succeeded Wayne Bennett in February 2020, was in charge for a home World Cup in 2022. England were knocked out in the semi-finals, losing to Samoa in golden-point extra time.

England won home series against Tonga and Samoa in the following two years but then lost all three Ashes Tests to Australia on home soil last autumn.

After that series defeat, Wane said there was “no question” that he was the right person to lead his nation into the 2026 World Cup.

England’s opening pool match at the tournament is against Tonga in Perth on 17 October, with games against France and Papua New Guinea to follow.
