England Seeks to Strengthen Bonds with Night of Relaxation Before World Cup Semi-Final
Rosie Galligan, an England player, revealed that the team is planning a “relaxing night” to strengthen the bonds between the players before the World Cup semi-final against France, which will be played on Saturday at Ashton Gate. The “Red Roses” arrive at “Le Crunch” as clear favorites, but aware of the “war” ahead, they will seek to disconnect from rugby during an evening of self-care at their hotel in Bristol.These moments seek to strengthen the team’s unity to face the challenge on the playing field together. England has won its last 18 matches against France since 2018, although in their two most recent home encounters, they managed to withstand their Six Nations rivals’ comebacks.“In fact, we’ll have a relaxing night on Wednesday, where we’ll all bring our own face masks and wear pajamas to go to our common room to watch a movie together,” Galligan commented.

The player also highlighted the hostility of the environment when they play in France and vice versa, emphasizing the French players’ desire to beat them at home. Galligan concluded that, although it’s more of a rugby match, the rivalry between England and France is something not to be underestimated.“Le Crunch is the best and it’s probably similar for the French. When you play away, that’s when it really becomes special,” added Galligan.
