Rosie Galligan: The Magical Support to the Red Roses at the Women’s Rugby World Cup<\/h2>\n\nEnglish 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.\n\nThe “Red Roses” have achieved convincing victories against the United States and Samoa, in front of a large audience in Sunderland and Northampton, respectively, marking a promising start to the tournament.\n\nThe third and final group stage match against Australia in Brighton is also close to selling out, and Galligan has confessed that he has never experienced such enthusiasm.\n\n\n
\"Rosie<\/figure>\n\n\nRosie Galligan has been overwhelmed by the support for England.<\/em>\n\nGalligan commented on the atmosphere experienced:\n\n\n

\u201cThis has been magical. Sunderland, for example, with the excited fans walking towards the stadium, the fireworks as they got off the bus, I really felt something I had never experienced before\u201d.<\/p>\nRosie Galligan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nFurthermore, he highlighted the difference between playing a tournament at home, compared to the experience three years ago in New Zealand.\n\nGalligan also mentioned the difficulty of getting extra tickets for his family, as England prepares to face the Wallaroos.\n\nGalligan’s personal story is a source of inspiration.\n\n\n

\"Galligan<\/figure>\n\n\nGalligan has been a key player in the English team.<\/em>\n\nIn 2019, she contracted meningitis, which led to hospitalization and nearly cost her her legs.\n\nAfter returning to rugby in 2020, she fractured her ankle, which kept her off the fields for a year. She returned to be part of the team in the 2022 World Cup, which was delayed.\n\n\n

“We all have ups and downs, and life is a rollercoaster both on and off the field,” Galligan stated.<\/p>\nRosie Galligan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n“Being able to say I had meningitis, I broke my ankle, I was out for a year trying to recover and I did it… and then I’ve been involved in the England team ever since. That for me was a great achievement.”\n\nNot only did I get physically stronger from those major lows, but I also became a completely different person mentally.\n\nSo it’s about taking things easy. The positive aspects are always the things you remember, but knowing that you overcame some really dark moments is also very important to remember.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
