Rosie Galligan has revealed plans for England to hold a “Pamper Night” to bring the team closer ahead of Saturday’s World Cup semi-finals at Ashton Gate.
Red Roses enters “Le Crunch” as a Red Hot favorite, but with “war” in mind, they switch from rugby to a complacent evening at the team hotel in Bristol.
“We actually have a luxurious evening on Wednesdays, where we all bring our face masks and wear our pyjamas in the team room and watch the film together,” Garrigan said.

“It is those moments that really bring us together and we are.
The UK won its final 18 matches against France, dating back to 2018, but in the final two meetings in their hometown soil, they held back a powerful comeback from rivals from six countries.
They scored 38-33 in 2023 and 43-42 in 2025, but in both cases they fell apart by building an impressive lead.
“Le Crunch is the best and probably similar to the French. When you leave, it’s a really special time,” Second Law Galligan said.
“When we go to France and the French come here, it’s always a rather hostile environment. They’re alive and they always seem to want to beat us in our hometown soil.
“It’s just a rugby game, but that French-English rivalry is something you don’t take for granted.”
