Women’s World Cup: England against Scotland, the quarter -finals, preferred excavation against the vulnerable “improved” Rugby Union News

England coach John Mitchell says his team will aim to “hunt weaknesses” that he feels still in the “improved” Scotland team in the quarter -finals of the Rajabi World Cup.

The old competitors meet at the Ashton Gate in Bristol when Red Roses sets a successive series of 30 games on the line against Scotland, which appears in the first World Cup quarter -finals since 2002.

England, which welcomes Captain Zoe Alkroft in the squad after losing the last two matches of billiards through injury, but without Elie Keldon, has not been defeated against Scotland since 1999, and therefore they are preferred in progress.

“They have definitely improved, which is great,” said Mitchell from Scotland, who won the three billiard matches to rehabilitate the past eight.

“I think everyone raised their performance.

“It is clear that Scotland will raise its performance against us, but there is still weakness within the Scotland team, there are still opportunities to build pressure, so we will hunt these weaknesses.”

The hosts and the favorite championship in England won all the three billiard games, and they spoke to it Sky Sports News“We are in the stages of the championship now where there is always an end point. So we have to win another week and this makes it enjoyable as well because you should make sure the task is completed,” Mitchell said.

“We have adapted well (in the championship). We learned from different situations. We were subjected to some injuries before the tournament, and some injuries to the championship.

“We were unwanted in the first half against Australia and worked on our way to really come out calmly.

“These situations are really important to learn from them and make sure that you are improving.”

Heavy rains and stormy winds are expected to coincide with a match on Sunday 4 pm, but Mitchell says that his team is very ready for such difficult circumstances.

“We believe that we can adapt to all circumstances,” he said.

“We have special plays that allow us to be able to dictate opportunities at the other end of the field through the weather. I think we are well equipped to deal with both.”

“They have not seen this Scotland before” – the vulnerable enjoy “huge”

Although the number 1 in England, made from the world 1, is the candidates who are clear to a tie in the semi -finals against France or Ireland, Scotland captain Rachel Malcolm believes that her side represents a completely different proposal for the past.

“This game is huge,” said Malcolm, who will present Captain Scotland for the 53rd time on Sunday.

“Scotland was not in the quarter -finals for 22 years and I think it is a different type of pressure.

“Nobody expects us to win and this is a kind of place where we flourish. It is the largest game in our career because we have a great deal of belief in this team.

“The shows were built a week per week while we were here, and to be at this stage, to be in the first eight teams in the world in a competition, not only aimed at this group, but for the Rakbi Women’s game in Scotland in the history of this game.

“He does not feel pressure; it looks like an honor and privilege we want to go to and justice, so we are incredibly out.

“I don’t think we have ever played England with this Scotland team and this level of belief and this level of unity. So it is a different game and a different challenge and we could not be more enthusiastic.”

“They have not seen this Scotland before, so we are excited to see what we can do,” said Francesca McGie, who begins in the left wing.

Meanwhile, Brian Ison, Scotland coach, said that although England represents “very difficult opposition”, his team enjoyed a encouraging tournament and that “performances may indicate that we are improving.”

Australia’s approach to their early successes against England also noted in the final billiard match, before the hosts eventually won 47-7 winners.

“I believed that Australia played well in the beginning of the forty (forty minutes) and took a lot of pressure on England,” said Ison.

“They put them under pressure, put MAUL under pressure as well, which is interesting. So we took a look at it and some other games as well as put under pressure as well.

“So we are well aware of opportunities, but we are also well aware of threats as well.

“It’s always a compact game, but there is likely to have little pressure on the World Cup, there is little pressure to perform it too. So we have to look at this and take every inch we can.”
