'Greater things to come' says Mitchell after England winning run ends
Head coach John Mitchell says England's thrilling draw with Canada will inspire "greater things to come" from the world champions despite the result ending their record-breaking winning streak.
Head coach John Mitchell sees potential for greater achievements after England's thrilling 26-26 draw with Canada, which ended their record-breaking 39-match winning streak. Despite the result, Mitchell emphasizes that the match provided valuable insights and serves as a foundation for future success. England's players, facing only their second competitive Test of the season, managed to avoid defeat, extending their unbeaten run to 40 matches.
For Mitchell, the match is just the beginning, with more opportunities to build upon this result, including upcoming WXV Global Series games against New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The winning streak, which began under former head coach Simon Middleton, has been a dominant force in women's rugby union. Mitchell remains patient, acknowledging that there will be "greater things to come" as a result of this Test.
