Meg Jones seeks to inspire England in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final

Meg Jones: “We Needed” the Semifinals Battle to Reach the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final

English center Meg Jones has admitted that the semi-final victory over France was “exactly what they needed” to prepare for next week’s Women’s Rugby World Cup final. The Red Roses secured their place in their seventh consecutive final with a 35-17 victory in Bristol, although the score suggests it was an easier afternoon than it actually was for the hosts. France dominated ball possession with 61%, and although England was more effective, they were forced to work hard for their successes, making 231 tackles against France’s 90. Jones, who had an outstanding performance with four recoveries, commented that it was the type of battle his team was looking for before the final.

I asked the girls for one thing, and it was to choose with what force they were going to hit and inspire the person next to them. I 100% believe that’s exactly what we needed. Everyone will always comment on how we play and what the game is like, but let me tell you that defense defines us.

The pressure is already great, let’s not make it any greater. Let’s enjoy what it is. Canada looks forward to next week’s event, with the possibility of winning the World Cup at home in front of 80,000 fans at Twickenham, which is exciting for Jones. “I was holding back the tears [after the semi-final], because I think it’s everything we’ve worked for,” Jones said. “It’s huge for us. Honestly, I think the most important thing is to inspire a nation and girls and boys all over the country, I am very proud of what we have built and what we continue to build.” “We will enjoy the moment we have had together. There will be a lot of singing and we know we will return to it [on Sunday], a great day of recovery, a great week ahead.” “We’ve earned another week, and we’ll try again.”
