“Rosie Galligan praises coach Mitchell’s open and honest approach ahead of Women’s Six Nations clash with Scotland”

In a thrilling Women’s Six Nations clash, England’s Rosie Galligan shone brightly as she helped her team secure a victory over Wales at Ashton Gate. The lock, who was named player of the match, scored a crucial second-half try that proved to be the difference maker in the game.

Galligan’s performance not only impressed fans and pundits but also caught the eye of head coach John Mitchell, who made seven changes to the team for the upcoming match against Scotland. Despite the changes, Galligan remains confident in Mitchell’s selection rationale, praising him for being “open and honest” with the players.

“It is a really competitive position. You have to put everything out on the pitch to get that shirt,” Galligan said. “Putting on the Red Rose and white shirt is such a privilege and it is never nice to hear you are not playing. Mitch has such an open and honest approach you understand his rationale.”

The 25-year-old lock is now in a fierce competition for a starting spot with Abbie Ward and Zoe Aldcroft, both experienced players in the squad. Despite the competition, Galligan values the healthy rivalry among the players, pushing each other to be better and putting the team’s success above all else.

With England currently sitting at the top of the table, the upcoming match against Scotland promises to be a thrilling encounter. The Hive Stadium in Edinburgh is set to host a sell-out crowd, with a record attendance expected for a Scotland women’s home game. As the team aims for success in the Six Nations and beyond, Galligan and her teammates are ready to give their all on the field and make their country proud.
