Honestly, I think the most important thing is to inspire a nation and girls and boys all over the country, I am very proud of what we have built and what we continue to build.&#8221;\n\n&#8220;We 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.&#8221;\n\n&#8220;We&#8217;ve earned another week, and we&#8217;ll try again.&#8221;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meg Jones: &#8220;We Needed&#8221; the Semifinals Battle to Reach the Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup Final English center Meg Jones has admitted that the semi-final victory over France was &#8220;exactly what they needed&#8221; to prepare for next week&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup final.
