Description

On the whistle reaction as England beat the USA 69-7.

Sara Orchard is joined by 1994 World Cup winning Red Rose Giselle Mather and commentator Claire Thomas to reflect on England’s emphatic start to their World Cup campaign and the huge sense of occasion created at the Stadium of Light for the opening match. Was Ellie Kildunne the right call for player of the match? And how did the Red Roses still not exhibit their best play?

Plus, should the USA’s Alev Kelter have been given the yellow card? And where do the Americans go from here?
