AUCKLAND: England winger Abby Dow lit up Eden Park with two tries in their 26-19 win over Canada in the women's Rugby World Cup semi-finals but coach Simon Middleton said she would not even have been on the pitch had it not been for the Red Roses medical staff.
"Emily Ross, Lewis Jones and the team just said, give us six months and we'll do it, we'll get her there. And she's so valuable we were never going to question that. The Canadians had pulled to within six points and were putting England's defence under sustained pressure when Claudia MacDonald burst out from behind her own try line and fed Dow.
"You look at it and how can you not celebrate it. Whether we would've won or lost today, that was a magical moment in sport and it should be celebrated because it's incredible the journey she's been on."
