Red Roses face undoubtedly the greatest test in their history when they meet World Cup hosts at sold-out Eden Park in final
Simon Middleton, the England head coach, says his fearless Red Roses side are relishing the formidable challenge of playing champions New Zealand at a sold-out Eden Park in Saturday’s World Cup final.
England face undoubtedly the greatest test in their history when they meet the tournament hosts, having been tipped overwhelmingly as favourites to lift the trophy.
Armed with a record-breaking 30-match winning streak and having been professional for more than three years, Middleton has already said it would be a “failure” if his side do not win the World Cup, despite the pressure on his players.
England, who are aiming to avenge their 2017 World Cup final heartache against New Zealand, have never beaten the Black Ferns in a World Cup final, while a growing contingent of the squad have never tasted defeat in a white shirt.
