England’s Rugby Football League says it is looking into the circumstances which left Irish international Will Hope waiting in agony for three hours for an ambulance that never arrived. “I cannot describe the agony I was in and the anger I still feel about the whole situation.

The whole of Swinton Lions and Sheffield Eagles have been fantastic, I can’t thank them enough. “We have contacted Sheffield Eagles for an explanation of the circumstances as they have been reported.
