Meg Jones: “We needed this battle” before the Women’s Rugby World Cup final<\/h2>\n\nEngland center, Meg Jones, has acknowledged that the victory in the semi-final against France was “exactly what we needed” ahead of next week’s Women’s Rugby World Cup final.\n\nThe 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 match than it actually was for the hosts.\n\nFrance dominated ball possession with 61%, and although England was more effective, they were forced to work hard to achieve their successes, making 231 tackles against France’s 90.\n\nJones, who was their usual standout player with four ball recoveries, stated that this type of battle was what her team was looking for before the final.\n\n\n

I asked the girls for one thing, and it was to choose with what intensity they were going to hit and inspire the person next to them. At 100% I believe that’s exactly what we needed. Everyone is always going to have an opinion on how we play and how the game is, but let me tell you that defensive play defines us.<\/p>Meg Jones<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"Inglaterra<\/figure>\n\n\nEngland will face Canada in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final.<\/em>\n\nJones also added:\n\n“I think we have a lot of heart and desire in this team and we are also enjoying what we do. Hopefully, you see the fun out there, there are good celebrations and we are trying to enjoy the game as much as we can.”\n\n“The pressure is already great, let’s not make it greater. Let’s enjoy what it is.”\n\nCanada awaits in next week’s main event, with the possibility of winning the World Cup at home in front of 80,000 fans at Twickenham, which is exciting for Jones.\n\n“I was holding back the tears [after the semi-final], because I think it’s everything we’ve built,” Jones said. “It’s huge for us. Honestly, I think the most important thing is to inspire a nation and girls and boys from all over the country, I am very proud of what we have built and what we continue to build.”\n\n“We will enjoy the moment we’ve had together. There will be many songs and we know we will return to it [on Sunday], a great day of recovery, a great week ahead.”\n\n“We’ve earned another week, and we’ll give it our all.”","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
