Sarah Hunter will make history as the most capped England rugby player of all time when she leads the Red Roses in their World Cup quarter-final against Australia today - and you can follow our live coverage of the game here. Hunter, who has been a figurehead for women's rugby for 15 years and is widely regarded one of the greatest forwards to have played the game, will earn her 138th cap against the Wallaroos, setting a new world record for the most number of Test appearances by a female player. After being rested during the Red Roses' landslide victory over South Africa last week, the 37-year-old will surpass Rocky Clark's all-time caps record of 137 caps after being named in her preferred No.8 role for the knockout meeting. "To earn 138 caps for your country is a remarkable achievement and deserves to be celebrated,' said Simon Middleton, the England head coach. 'The way she conducts herself in everything she does both on and off the field is admirable. Her people skills, ability to lead and communicate with people from all walks of life makes her stand out. 'She takes pride in everything she does and does it to the best of her ability. I think as a sports person the one thing you hope you can do when you look back is to be able to say to yourself 'I couldn't have given more, I've been the best I could be' - Sarah is one of the very few who will be able to unequivocally do that - she is a unique person and captain.' Hunter, who was named the world player of the year in 2016, will lead a vastly changed England outfit against Australia, a team ranked sixth in the world who are known for their fast and physical play. After impressing against the Springboks on her World Cup debut, Tatyana Heard has retained her place at inside centre with Rowland given a rare chance to shine at full-back in a sign that Middleton is anticipating a different challenge against the Wallaroos.
