And you feel like you really earned this one?
55:36
Well, yeah, I feel like this year it's been, like, ups and downs in the way that we've wanted to play and the way that we've actually wanted to, like, showcase Saracens Rugby this year.
55:43
So I think that, like, to be able to come out and perform and actually put that many points on the board and, like, defend how we wanted to defend-
58:03
We want her.
58:03
But it's just, like, people like Marlie, people like Poppy, you know, like, that just see the game so well, and, like, to be able to unleash them and, like, be able to actually play that you guy- the way that you guys wanna play has been, like, so fun to have, like, the Red Rose Canadian, few Welshies.
58:16
Gee also, like, has just-

What's been your biggest surprise about life at Saracens, either on or off the pitch?
16:21
I would say that eggs in the grocery store are kept on the shelf and not in the fridge.
16:28
Honestly, that kind of scared me when I moved to England originally.
16:31
So that's off field.
16:32
But no, on field, whenever I made the move over here, obviously I knew Ceres was like one of the best women's club in the world to come to.
16:42
So I was a little bit nervous.
16:43
I was intimidated.

What's it like trying to balance the two different types of rugby?
36:04
This is
36:04
the Eiffel Tower piece.
36:06
on the front no way yeah so when they did like the construction on the Eiffel Tower a few years before they kept pieces so they could make the medal the biggest thing was we definitely didn't go into an Olympic final being favorites or in the Olympics in general being any type of like hey you're expected to be in a final yeah fine Expectation was lower.
36:30
And I think that as a team, we knew that we could get on the podium.
36:37
But in the outside world, anything that we did would have just made Canada proud.
36:42
That's nice, yeah.
36:45
So I think that we just exceeded people's expectations, I think is the biggest thing coming away from that final.
40:25
What was the genuine feeling going from that semi-final knowing pretty much that you most probably were likely to come up against England in the final because you girls executed things that no other team had done in that tournament as clinically and as fast and all the rest of it so you guys came away not just beating New Zealand but like putting in the performance of like the tournament really up until that point so when you then knew you were going to be playing England what was that genuine feel within team was it like next job mentality or well we just did that yeah
