Tag not favoured by boss Mitchell

The Red Roses kick off this year’s tournament at the Stadium of Light against the United States tomorrow night and also face Samoa and Australia in Pool A.

England are ranked number one in the world but Mitchell insisted: “We start the tournament equal like everyone else. Being favourites is irrelevant to us.”

England are on a 27-game winning run and recorded warm-up victories against Spain and France earlier this month.
