John Mitchell Praises Ellie Kildunne After English Victory

England coach John Mitchell has expressed his admiration for the outstanding fullback Ellie Kildunne, following her impressive performance in the semi-final against France, where she was named Player of the Match. England faced a tough French rival, but managed to prevail with a score of 35-17 in Bristol, securing their place in the World Cup final. Kildunne was fundamental to the team’s success, scoring two spectacular tries and demonstrating why she is the World Rugby Player of the Year.

“She is special,” Mitchell commented at the post-match press conference.

Mitchell highlighted Kildunne’s youth and humility, despite his recognition as a star. Furthermore, the coach emphasized the importance of supporting Kildunne and allowing him to pursue his goals.

Kildunne left the field early in the match, but Mitchell was unaware of the severity of his injury and hoped he could play in the final. Mitchell, although satisfied with the team’s performance, emphasized that the work is not yet finished, as England seeks its third World Cup title. “We have earned the right to compete in the final,” he affirmed. “It’s a new game. The important thing is to stay focused, concentrate, and enjoy the week in our country. It will be a great match between the two best teams in the world.”
