The English rugby player, Rosie Galligan, has expressed her amazement at the support received by the team during the early stages of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, calling it “magical”.
The “Red Roses” have achieved convincing victories against the United States and Samoa, in front of enthusiastic crowds in Sunderland and Northampton, marking a promising start to the tournament. The third and final group stage match against Australia in Brighton is also expected to be a sell-out.
Galligan commented that he had never before experienced such a passionate fanbase. The atmosphere in Sunderland, with the excited fans and fireworks, created an unforgettable experience.
The player also mentioned the challenge of getting additional tickets for her family for the match against Australia. Galligan’s personal journey has been a source of inspiration.This has been magical. I think Sunderland for me, the way we were going down the street and had the fans in masses, walking towards the stadium, the fireworks when you got off the bus, it really felt like something I had never experienced before.

Galligan considers it a great achievement to have overcome these challenges and to have been part of the English team ever since. He highlighted that, in addition to getting physically stronger, he also experienced a mental transformation. The player emphasized the importance of remembering both the positive and difficult moments, acknowledging that overcoming the dark moments is fundamental.We all have our ups and downs, and life is like a roller coaster, both on and off the field.
