"Rosie Galligan, an English player, encouraged action before the semifinal against France, enthusiastically saying, 'Play, play...'"
The England rugby team is gearing up for an exciting semi-final match against France in the ongoing Rugby World Cup. The French team, known for their ability to deliver surprising outcomes, has been a topic of discussion among the English squad.
Rosie Galligan, an English second row, has acknowledged the potential threat posed by the French team. She specifically names Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz as players to watch out for, although French player Axelle Berthoumieu, who was suspended for nine games due to a biting incident, will not participate in the semi-final.
Despite England's impressive 31-match winning streak, with their last defeat dating back to the last World Cup final against the Black Ferns, Galligan warns that the French team should not be underestimated. She notes the French team's history of coming back from behind, as shown in the last Six Nations tournament where they lost by one point 43-42 after leading comfortably.
The English team, however, is in good shape. They have no suspended players and no injuries, and Ellie Kildunne, the winger, and Hannah Botterman, the prop, who were not in the quarter-final against Scotland, are training normally and will be fit for the semi-final.
Lou Meadows, who handles the attack in the English staff, also agrees that the French team is capable of surprising outcomes. Galligan echoes this sentiment, stating that the French team often brings something new in their confrontations with England.
Adaptation is crucial for England against the French team, as Galligan stated, due to the new challenges they present. The English team has been focusing on themselves since the beginning of the competition, as per Galligan's statement. They emphasize the need to convert opportunities in the 22 to account for the unpredictability of the French team.
John Mitchell, the New Zealand coach, expressed that it would be challenging to pick the team for the semi-final. The English rugby union team will undoubtedly face a tough challenge in the semi-final, but they are ready to meet it head-on. The match promises to be an exciting one, with both teams eager to secure a spot in the final.
