England's rugby league bosses are taking steps to improve the national team's performance after the men's and women's teams were eliminated from the World Cups at the group stage. The Rugby Football League (RFL) has announced a plan to develop a system that will help players from grassroots and academy level reach the international stage. The plan, called One Game, One England, aims to strengthen the structures of the English domestic game to give the national team a better chance of success. This includes improving the media rights and revenue for the sport, as well as attracting new audiences. The RFL has also acknowledged that the current domestic competition, the Women's Super League, is effectively amateur and is not providing the necessary level of competition for the women's national team. However, they have a development program in place, the Diploma in Sporting Excellence (DiSE), which is designed to bring through young female players with the potential to play at the elite level. England's head coach, Brian McDermott, has spoken about the need to strengthen the domestic game to give the national team a fighting chance. He has also expressed his desire to stay on as head coach for the 2030 World Cup, given the right preparation time. The RFL's new chief executive, Ian Nolan, has recognized that the national team's performance is not just down to external factors, but also to the quality of the domestic game. He has promised an all-encompassing analysis of the national game, including how to influence media rights and attract new audiences. The RFL is also working with the Australian Rugby League Commission to negotiate a deal that could see the NRL invest in Super League. This could help bridge the quality gap between the English and Australian games. The RFL's plan is a positive step towards improving the national team's performance and giving English rugby league a better chance of success on the international stage.
