Matthews can pack a punch as skipper!
Birmingham Mail
|September 05, 2025
ENGLAND back-rower Alex Matthews gave head coach John Mitchell a playful punch after being appointed captain for tomorrow's World Cup showdown with Australia.
The 32-year-old will lead her country for only the second time as the Red Roses attempt to clinch top spot in Pool A by avoiding defeat the Wallaroos in Brighton.
With regular skipper Zoe Aldcroft sidelined until the knockout stages due to a knee issue and former captain Marlie Packer left out of the matchday 23, media-shy Matthews was selected for the role ahead of vice-captain Megan Jones.
