Breach out to make up for lost time

JESS BREACH has unfinished business when it comes to World Cups.

But the England winger believes she is a different person ahead of the showpiece on home soil.

Now 27, the Saracens star burst on to the scene aged just 20 with six tries on debut against Canada and quickly established herself as one of the best finishers in the game.

However, in New Zealand three years ago, Breach made just one appearance for England, in a group game against South Africa, missing out to a combination of Lydia Thompson, Abby Dow and Claudia Moloney-MacDonald in the knockout stages.

As England fell just short to the Black Ferns in the final, losing 34-31 in front of a world-record crowd at Eden Park, Breach had to deal with both collective and individual disappointment.
