Sarah Hunter says the prolonged pain of England’s 2017 World Cup final defeat is fuelling her quest for a revenge mission in New Zealand this autumn.
Hunter skippered the Red Roses when they were beaten by the Black Ferns in the final five years ago, having also been a part of the side that were crowned champions in France three years earlier.
The latest instalment of rugby’s showpiece event arrives one year later than intended, so Hunter, who will be 37 when the tournament begins on October 8, has stewed over the prospect of turning the tables for a little longer than planned.
