Red Roses ready for battle
The Gazette
|September 20, 2025
ALEX Matthews insists England are determined to show their killer instinct against France in this afternoon’s World Cup semifinal at Ashton Gate.
-
The Red Roses are “ready for a fight” according to their forwards coach Louis Deacon - and their two most recent Allianz Stadium collisions with their Six Nations rivals show why that means playing until the final whistle.
On both occasions England built commanding leads only to crumble when France staged electric come backs, triumphing 38-33 in 2023 and 43-42 in 2025 but each time saved by the final whistle.
A 16-Test winning run in the fixture dating back to 2018 is evidence of their mastery over Les Bleues, but the near misses have been referenced by head coach John Mitchell as they target a place in next Saturday's final at Twickenham.
“It’s something we have addressed,” said Matthews, England’s veteran number eight and 2014 World Cup winner.
