However, the score suggests an easier afternoon than it actually was for the hosts.\n\nFrance dominated possession with 61%, and although England was more effective, they were forced to work hard to achieve their successes, making 231 tackles against France&#8217;s 90.\n\nJones, who was as always destructive with four rebounds, stated that this type of battle was what her team was looking for before the final.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>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. One hundred percent, I think that&#8217;s exactly what we needed.

I hope you see the fun out there, there are good celebrations and we are trying to enjoy the game as much as we can.\n\nThe pressure is already great, let&#8217;s not make it any greater. Let&#8217;s just enjoy it for what it is.&#8221;\n\nCanada awaits in next week&#8217;s main event, with the possibility of winning the World Cup at home in front of 80,000 fans at Twickenham, something exciting for Jones.\n\n&#8220;I was holding back the tears after the semi-final, because I think it&#8217;s everything we&#8217;ve built,&#8221; Jones said. &#8220;It&#8217;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, very proud of what we have built and what we continue to build.\n\nWe 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.\n\nWe&#8217;ve earned another week, and we&#8217;ll try again.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meg Jones: &#8220;We needed this victory&#8221; The center of England, Meg Jones, has acknowledged that the victory in the semi-final against France was &#8220;exactly what they needed&#8221; ahead of next week&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup final.
