“It’s an amazing feeling,” says Sarah Bern. “It’s different every single time. Cannot thank the crowd enough, they make it so special for us. It’s an amazing group of girls who work so hard every day to come out with those awards.
“France are an incredible team. They were phenomenal. It came down to the last bite, which is amazing. It’s what viewers want to watch and it’s how we want to play.”
“Massive. I think that’s a Test match, innit?” says Megan Jones. “All going at each other. Full 80 minutes. I hope it was a good spectacle for the fans. Yeah, we work hard and it’s nice to get the reward.”
