WAYNE BENNETT will get the chance to lead England into the 2021 World Cup if he delivers success in the next two years, the Rugby Football League’s director of rugby Kevin Sinfield said today.

Sinfield, who made the recommendation to reappoint the 68-year-old Australian after he took England to the final of the 2017 World Cup, says Bennett is happy to extend his stay by two years rather than the four hinted at by RFL interim boss Ralph Rimmer.

“It’s the best person for the job and currently Wayne is that,” Sinfield said.
