"Earning the right to win each game may be the Red Roses' mantra at this Rugby World Cup but making history on home soil is the goal Sarah Hunter and Lou Meadows are working to orchestrate. England's assistant coaches describe themselves as complementary, bringing diverse experience that creates a good blend alongside the forwards coach, Louis Deacon, and the head coach, John Mitchell, with the Red Roses unbeaten under the New Zealander's tenure."
"They think for a moment and then choose the same one the away win against New Zealand at WXV 1 in 2023. It was the first time England had played the Black Ferns since they lost the World Cup final the previous year which remains the last time the Red Roses were defeated. Meadows and Hunter say that 2023 rematch was the one when everything clicked. The players parked all of the emotion and really focused in on the rugby, Hunter says."
England's Red Roses aim to make history on home soil while treating each match as one to be earned. Assistant coaches Sarah Hunter and Lou Meadows provide complementary perspectives, combining diverse experience with forwards coach Louis Deacon and head coach John Mitchell. The coaching trio has sharpened both defensive and attacking strategies, contributing to England's unbeaten run under Mitchell. The coaches identify the away win over New Zealand at WXV 1 in 2023 as the team's closest-to-perfect performance, crediting focused, unemotional execution. That victory marked a pivotal point in a three-year journey to avenge the 2022 World Cup loss and pursue a Twickenham final.
