Sevens stars in World Cup Wallaroos squad

Olympic gold medallist Shannon Parry believes the Wallaroos' squad for the Women's Rugby World Cup has the aggression to take on a tough pool that includes France and hosts Ireland.

Coach Paul Verrell named the 28-woman squad in Sydney on Wednesday, which includes Parry, fellow sevens gold medallist Sharni Williams and potential debutants Mahalia Murphy and Trilleen Pomare.

"We've got a really good squad with a lot of depth and talent and I have no doubt that will put us in good stead moving forward," Parry said.
