Six Trailfinders Women selected for England training camp

 

Six Trailfinders Women have been selected for the first Red Roses camp of 2026. 

World Cup Winners Abi Burton and Meg Jones have been selected alongside uncapped players Jasmine Adonri, Hayley Jones, Annabel Meta and Haidee Head for the Red Roses’ 47-player training camp.

Since joining Trailfinders for the 2025/26 season, Meg Jones has made six starts for the Red Roses, receiving her 33rd cap in the Rugby World Cup Final. Abi Burton has also made six starts for Trailfinders this season, securing four caps in 2025 after making her Red Roses debut against Wales in the women’s Six Nations last year.

Jasmine Adonri and Annabel Meta have previously featured in England U20s. Young hooker Hayley Jones has played for England at U18s age-grade level, whilst Haidee Head  featured in England’s U21s Squad back in December.

As students at Trailfinders Women’s partner university, Adonri, Meta, and Jones have represented Brunel University in Women’s BUCS Super Rugby as well as in Trailfinders colours in the PWR Cup.

Meta also got herself on the scoreboard after coming off the bench in Trailfinders’ win over Leicester Tigers in Round Seven of the PWR.

It will be the first time a Red Roses squad has come together since winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup in September. The squad will assemble today at Pennyhill Park (Monday 12 January).

Trailfinders Women Head Coach Barney Maddison said:

‘It’s great to see so many Trailfinders being represented in the Red Roses camp this week.

‘For the younger girls it will be a great experience for them. It’s an opportunity for them to learn and grow and also see what it takes to compete at the highest level.’

Red Roses Head Coach John Mitchell said:

‘2025 was a memorable year for everyone involved with the Red Roses, and one that will go down in history for rugby in this country.

‘As we enter a new cycle, this camp will focus on aligning our communication and resetting our culture to win.’
