And she is sitting next to Amy Hardcastle. They have a large England flag with Amy Hardcastle's face on it and an official black England rucksack with the initials AH on it. Can you guess what that stands for? The two ladies are wearing Amy masks - which is why we have the multiple Hardcastle moment. 'I got them from Amazon,' says Allison, Amy's mum, mask perched on head. 'I LOVE Amazon!' It's fair to say there's a lot of love too for her pink-haired daughter today as she lines up against Brazil in the World Cup. England's Elliott Whitehead out to "rectify" Papua New Guinea devastation Allison is wearing a new England shirt with a number four on the back and the slogan DAUGHTER. Her pal Amanda - Aunty Mandy as she is fondly known - shares her joy. Amanda tells me Amy put two players in hospital the first two times she played the game for Siddal. Allison then reassures me her daughter doesn't want to hurt people - she's an ambassador for Rugby League Cares after all - but is 'so strong'. Amy and Allison live in adjoining cottages in Brighouse and sometimes knock on the wall to communicate. 'Apart from having a door we are in the same house,' says Allison. Allison Hardcastle and her mate Amanda 'Aunty Mandy' I tell her before kick off I wanted to put some money on Amy scoring a hat-trick today but the bookies are smart in a game like this and William Hill have no try-scorer market. When Amy blasts through for her third try, I turn to her and mouth 'told you'. She is beside herself with happiness. Every parent is proud in some way but one of the joys of being at a game in this tournament has been spotting the friends and relatives of players savouring their loved one's moment on the world stage. England are impressive and too good - as that 72-4 scoreline reflects. Thoug){kind=link}
