England duo Zoe Harrison and Megan Jones are among four nominees for World Rugby Women's 15s Player of the Year award.

They are nominated alongside Canada's DaLeaka Menin and New Zealand's Kaipo Olsen-Baker for the award, which recognises exceptional performances during the 2026 season.

Fly-half Harrison, 28, scored 88 points from the tee for England this year while Red Roses captain Jones, 30, is nominated for a second year in a row - missing out to Canada's Sophie de Goede in 2025.

The World Cup-winning pair played important roles in England claiming their eighth successive Women's Six Nations title in May, part of a 41-match unbeaten run ended by back-to-back defeats by Canada this month.

The winner will be announced following this weekend's final WXV Global Series matches, with England facing the United States on Friday (21:15 GMT).

Elsewhere, England's Abi Burton has been shortlisted for Women's 15s Try of the Year for her try against Australia in the WXV Global Series in September.
