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.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0903%2Fr1540628_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Jugadoras de Inglaterra en la cancha\" title=\"\"><figcaption>El equipo ingl\u00e9s ha contado con un gran apoyo durante el torneo.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n&#8220;This has been magical. In Sunderland, walking down the street and seeing the excited fans heading to the stadium, the fireworks as we got off the bus, I really felt something I had never experienced before,&#8221; Galligan stated.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>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.<\/p><cite>Rosie Galligan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nGalligan added that getting extra tickets for his family has been a challenge this week, as England looks to consolidate its position against the Wallaroos.\n\nAmy Cokayne: The RAF officer driving England&#8217;s scrum.\n\nGalligan commented that he has been looking for entries through the staff WhatsApp group to be able to count on the support of his loved ones. His personal journey has been a source of inspiration.\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0903%2Fr1540629_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Rosie Galligan\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Galligan se ha convertido en una pieza clave para el equipo ingl\u00e9s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\nIn 2019, Galligan contracted meningitis, which led to her hospitalization and nearly cost her the loss of her legs. After returning to rugby in 2020, she suffered a broken ankle that kept her out for a year. She returned to be part of the team for the 2022 World Cup, which was delayed.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>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&#8230; and then having been part of the England team since then, has been a great achievement for me.<\/p><cite>Rosie Galligan<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nGalligan 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.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The English rugby player, Rosie Galligan, has expressed her amazement at the support received by the team during the early stages of the Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup, describing it as &#8220;magical&#8221;.
