WOMEN'S rugby star Emily Cooke has arrived in Vancou-ver with her England team mates in readiness for their Churchill Cup campaign which opens on Saturday against the host nation Canada.
England then take on the USA on Wednesday with a potential final nine days later.
Coach Geoff Richards said he was delighted to name a full-strength squad for the tournament which is being staged alongside the men's competition.
"No-one is injured and everyone will be considered for selection for Saturday," he said. "They are raring to go and there are some new young players who have an opportunity to stake a claim."
England's last meeting with Canada was in Barcelona last summer in the World Cup semi-final. England won in convincing fashion with Emily scoring a couple of tries.
