you know how close we are it's just fine margins really and we are really close to the top four and I think that's why we're so frustrated because if you know we'd gotten them tries in that first half it would have been a different story but yeah just really proud of the girls and just keep the

our heads up and stick together and you know we've got two really big games coming up so that's where the heads go now really.

I think we're so lucky that the women's game is growing and things like this aren't occasions anymore it's just almost another game for us and we place emphasis on focusing on ourselves and the game being the priority and I think the girls stuck to that and we can be really proud of that.

But yeah, it was an amazing place to come to and an amazing crowd to play in front of.

And I think we don't go into our shells anymore.

We really thrive off that energy.

And like Scott said, we wanted a fast start.

And I think we really brought that.

And it's so great.

We're getting all these experiences and all these learnings and we're only getting better and better.

You know, our squad is so young.

So every opportunity we get to play in front of crowds like this, it's only getting us more experience and getting us better.

So we'll take the positives out of that.

Yeah, obviously we're probably frustrated.

Like Scott said, if we'd gotten fine margins, if we'd gotten them few tries that weren't tries in the first half, it would have looked really different going into the second half.

But that's just rugby and sometimes it's the bounce of the ball.

It's inches, it's a game of inches, especially when you're

Competing with the likes of France and the best in the world it comes down to them fine fine margins and yeah, it's frustrating but on the flip side we've showed what we're capable of and that we can compete with them and We're such a young squad and the learnings that we've gotten from that or you know, you can't you can't get that anywhere else so yeah, I think we're gonna look at them learnings and you know tweak a few things but

I'm really proud of the group and yeah we're just going to keep getting closer and closer and better and better I think.

Definitely.
