Views from Camp

Poppy Cleall on captaincy: "I was shocked and honoured, but didn't hesitate and just said yes of course I want to be England captain for the game. I cannot wait for this weekend now, this week has been an incredible experience. 

Actions speak louder than words, I'm lucky that around me I have so many leaders that speak so well, for me it's about going out there and making sure I'm the best version of myself to lead the team."

Simon Middleton on preparation: "There is going to be a reaction this weekend, but you can deal with things if you're aware of them. That's what we want, the bigger the challenge the better it will be. We're going to meet fire with fire."

Zoe Aldcroft on backing it up: "We have to back it up, because if we don’t perform this week then last week means nothing. We have to focus and concentrate because New Zealand are going to come out fighting. We expect a big response from them."
