Hunter calls for quick England improvement

“We did what we set out to do: get out of pool and into the semi-finals. We

have areas to work on and we will have to get better for the next game.

“We know we weren’t perfect but we got the result we needed. We wanted to keep

playing and keep to our processes and to our game-plan. It worked in parts

but we will go back to the drawing board for the semis.”

Centre Emily Scarratt kicked England’s other eight points but Canada scored

two tries through Karen Paquin and Kayla Mack. Kicker Magali Harvey failed

to convert either but did find the target with a late penalty which levelled

the scores and left England happy to run down the clock in the last five

minutes.

“As players you always feel more in control than people watching and we were

very aware of what we needed to do,” Hunter said. “It was a fantastic credit

to the girls out there. There was a real show of hard determination when

Canada kept coming and coming. At times our defence was outstanding and

ultimately you need that bit of grit in your side if you are going to go on

and win a World Cup.”
