Toronto Wolfpack halfback Ryan Brierley has been named to Scotland’s team for the Rugby League World Cup.  

He will join fellow Wolfpack players Liam Kay (Ireland), Ryan Burroughs and Joe Eichner (U.S.) and Ashton Sims (Fiji) at the tournament, which runs Oct. 27 to Dec. 2 in 13 cities across Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.

Eichner, who spent part of the season with the Wolfpack, was one of the players to emerge out of Toronto’s pre-season tryout. Sims is joining the Toronto team next season from England’s Warrington Wolves.

There are 14 men’s and six women’s teams playing in the World Cup.
