John Mitchell demands England improve despite record World Cup win over Samoa

In a record Rugby World Cup win, England's women's team, the Red Roses, defeated Samoa 92-3. However, despite the lopsided score, head coach John Mitchell was critical of his team's performance, saying "their basics let them down" during a period in the second half where they took their foot off the gas. Fly-half Helena Rowland was praised for her "outstanding" performance, which included 11 successful conversions out of 14 attempts. Mitchell also addressed the team's injury concerns, stating that the "injury gods haven't been that kind to us at the start of the tournament," but that they have managed to get to this point and are hoping to continue with a healthy group.
