Match report
Sarah Rendell’s match report from Northampton has just landed.
With that I’ll say cheerio as I switch my attention to the Wallaroos versus Eagles clash.
That was a rout from the English though Samoa showed plenty of pluck. “A David v Goliath match” as Sarah calls it. This time, David had no chance.
See you soon.
Some words from England’s head coach, John Mitchell:
It’s not about comparing the line-ups, we are one team and one circle.
I thought the girls were outstanding and clinical, we were organised and wanted to play for each other.
You can get loose when the score board builds but we didn’t do that. I am thrilled with the performance.
We could select anyone at the end of the day, we will need everyone because the injury gods haven’t been kind to us.
No matter who gets the job it’s about supporting each other, which they are really good at.
We have three years of the past that protects the future. It is all about consistency and cohesion and who has form.
