defender and two-time Euros winner Lucy Bronze, who was at Twickenham for the final: “It was unbelievable.
I rarely get to be a fan but to be a fan yesterday, the atmosphere was
incredible. Great support.
“It was
easier watching [than playing]. It was easier watching when they did so well in
the first half – we could all relax as fans.”
On what
England’s win will mean for women’s rugby: “This tournament’s set the standard.
Success always breeds change. The girls have a great platform to push for
better facilities for girls and rugby. Collectively, women’s athletes in
England, it’s something we want for all little girls – to have a place they can
go and play that sport they love. The success from yesterday, they can make
that change.”
On England’s
celebrations: “It looked like they had a good party. It brings back some nice
memories as a Lionesses player. They enjoyed themselves and rightly so.”
On today’s
trophy lift: “It’s something that helps connect with them all individually, to
speak to them. Today is a nice moment to celebrate with the fans and for the players
to take it in properly. They don’t have to be focused on playing, just on
enjoying the moment and feeling the atmosphere.”
