Ellie Kildunne Misses Women’s Rugby World Cup Quarter-Final<\/h2>\n\n\nEngland’s outstanding fullback, Ellie Kildunne, will not be able to participate in the crucial quarter-final match of the Women’s Rugby World Cup against Scotland next week.\n\nKildunne had to leave the field in the second half of the match in which England defeated Australia with a score of 47-7 in Brighton on Saturday. This was due to a head injury, and it has been confirmed that Kildunne will have to serve a mandatory 12-day rest period.\n\nDespite not having undergone a HIA (Head Injury Assessment) upon being substituted, the doctor decided she would not return to the game. England is also monitoring the physical condition of Hannah Botterman, the outstanding prop, who was replaced in the first half of the match due to a back spasm.\n\nThe team led by John Mitchell will face Scotland next Sunday in Bristol. The match against Australia was not easy for the “Red Roses”, as the Wallaroos scored first and led the scoreboard until the 28th minute. However, England managed to score seven tries, ensuring maximum performance in the group stage.\n\n\n

“We didn’t start well, we looked clumsy and disorganized in attack, but I think our defense was exceptional. Sometimes the attack doesn’t go as you want, but it was something that was under our control, so we will reflect on our preparation. The defense was exceptional.”<\/p>\n\nJohn Mitchell<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

“Yes, it was definitely our toughest match so far. You can see that in the first half they put pressure on us. But we needed it. There are many things to work on and fix. We trust the plan. We went out and did what we had to do. We have great carriers throughout our forward pack. We have threats all over the field, our forwards can’t take all the credit!”<\/p>\n\nSadia Kabeya<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\nEngland captain Alex Matthews commented: “It’s the most complicated we’ve had in the first 40 minutes; normally our lineout is perfect, but the amount of errors was quite high. We just needed to be more patient and direct.”\n\nEngland will now move to Bristol to prepare for the match against Scotland.\n\n\n

\n\n

\u201cIt’s great to play against Scotland: they are playing well in this tournament, so they are two countries with a rich history in rugby, and considering what they have had to experience with the contractual conditions, they are doing a remarkable job playing for each other,\u201d said Mitchell.<\/p>\n\nJohn Mitchell<\/cite>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
