Red Roses ‘focused on what is ahead’, says Atkin-Davies
Sold-out Twickenham to break attendance record
England’s heartache at the Women’s Rugby World Cup three years ago has made them ready for the final against Canada on Saturday, says the hooker Lark Atkin-Davies.
The Bristol Bears star came off the bench in the 34-31 final defeat against New Zealand at Eden Park in 2022, but says England are a “very different” team this time around. “You can reflect and learn from it but it’s made us ready for now,” Atkin-Davies said.
“From a personal perspective, massive learnings from it. I don’t think you can dwell on it because you have to be in the moment, you have to play the game in front of you, you can’t think about what happened three years ago. You have to be focused on what is ahead.”
