England's Jess Breach Nears 50th Cap in Crucial Australia World Cup Clash

Jess Breach will earn her 50th England cap in Saturday's crucial Women's Rugby World Cup Pool A match against Australia in Brighton. Breach, who scored a hat-trick in England's recent 92-3 victory over Samoa, is one of only three players retained in the starting XV by head coach John Mitchell, who has made significant changes to the lineup. England has already secured a quarter-final spot and aims to finish as group winners by maintaining their remarkable 29-match winning streak. Alex Matthews will captain the team in the absence of injured captain Zoe Aldcroft, while key players Megan Jones and Rosie Galligan also retain their places. Mitchell praised Breach's dedication and milestone, highlighting the collective effort behind her achievement. The match is set to draw thousands of supporters to Brighton, a venue with a history of World Cup magic, as England looks to build momentum heading into the knockout stage.
