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, describing it as “magical”.
The “Red Roses” have achieved resounding victories against the United States and Samoa, in front of large crowds in Sunderland and Northampton, respectively, to kick off their campaign. The third and final group stage match against Australia in Brighton is also close to selling out, and Galligan says he has never experienced such anticipation.
Galligan added that getting extra tickets for his family has been a challenge this week, as England looks to consolidate its position against the Wallaroos.

His personal journey has been a source of inspiration.I think this shows how far the sport has come, but also being at home in a tournament, compared to being on the other side of the world in New Zealand three years ago, makes a big difference.

Galligan concluded that, in addition to physically strengthening from those difficult moments, he also became a completely different person mentally. Therefore, it is important to accept what comes and remember the positive moments, but also remember the dark moments that were overcome.We all have our ups and downs, and life is like a roller coaster, both on and off the field. Having overcome meningitis and a broken ankle, and having managed to come back… and then having been part of the England team since then, has been a great achievement for me.
