Turning Setbacks into Strengths

England's rugby sensation, Meg Jones, is gearing up for a monumental clash against Canada in the finals of this year's Rugby World Cup, and she has a unique edge—her absence from the 2022 final. Jones, who watched her team lose a nail-biting match to New Zealand 34-31, believes that not being part of that heartache has now become her 'superpower.'

Home Ground Advantage with Record-Breaking Attendance

This year's final is set to take place at the iconic Twickenham Stadium, and it’s already poised to smash attendance records for women's rugby—tickets are sold out! The excitement is palpable as England prepares to seize this opportunity.

A Fresh Perspective

"Not being part of the 2022 World Cup final means I don’t carry that weight on my shoulders, giving me a fresh perspective on this tournament," Jones expressed. She emphasized that the energy and focus will be unwavering, regardless of the opponent. "It's simply 80 minutes of rugby—let's go out there and give it everything! This is our last chance to redefine the game in England."

Learning from the Semi-Final

In a thrilling semi-final against France, England's defense faced relentless pressure. While Jones acknowledged the intensity, she also pointed out that there’s always room for improvement. "We had a few soft errors that gave them chances. If we retain possession, our confidence in defense will shine through, and defense can win us this championship!"

Embracing the Challenge

Jones, who scored the clinching try in the semi-final, believes that pressure can be a driving force. "The intensity we faced was what we needed. Everyone has opinions on our playing style, but our impressive defensive effort reflects our spirit. We’re brimming with heart and desire, enjoying every moment and celebrating our journey. With so much pressure already, let’s savor this experience!"
