00:00The England Women Rugby Union head coach John Mitchell has looked ahead to his side's Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final against one of the pre-tournament favourites in France.
00:11I think we are adapting well to dealing with momentum and a lack of momentum and when the game is stuck for us, like I think we are learning all the time.
00:31I think we're getting better, but we're going to have to continue to get better at managing the eaves and flows.
00:37There was one period of time today, to be honest, where we're a little bit yuck now, sort of like a 20-25 metre mark and we're going to have to be better than that when we progress to semis.
00:51And in terms of that France side, how satisfying is it that you approach that warm-up game on de Marcon with the attitude to be as dominant as you were, knowing that there was a potential to meet at this stage of the competition?
01:03Well, it really probably means nothing, but it does mean a little bit to us because we took huge relief from that performance.
01:12And ahead of what is probably the biggest fixture in the Premier League in this country this weekend, the Merseyside derby,
01:19Liverpool head coach Arnie Schlott has spoken about the fitness of Alexander Isaac,
01:24who made his Liverpool debut in the Champions League in midweek as the Reds won 3-2 against Atletico Madrid at Anfield.
01:33Schlott said that Isaac was feeling his body when he came off.
01:36No, and I don't think I tell the media a lot the day before the game how we start the game.
01:45So we had a recovery yesterday.
01:48Actually, we're going to train this afternoon.
01:51So first of all, we have to see how they all feel.
01:52What I do know is that Alex did feel his body more maybe than ever before after the 60 minutes he played.
02:02So let's see how he's recovered today.
02:06And then we're going to think about the line-up mainly today.
02:12And you will hear it then tomorrow.
02:13And then we're going to think about the line-up.
