With 17 caps under her belt, Fayunati says that she is learning England’s number eight every day, who is wearing a shirt in front of her.
Alex Matthew, 32, will play in his fourth World Cup, while former England captain Sarah Hunter is now a defense coach for Red Rose.
“I just chew it [Hunter’s] The year of daily, which I am not sure if she loves, but I just ask the heap of her questions, “Funati said.
“He has found load and weight of experience. With Alex -he is very open to help me, which I just love, it’s really good.”
Unlike Hunter and Mathews, Fayunati has not felt the pain of England’s recent record in the World Cup. England have lost five in the last six finals, and the success of final success in 2014.
She accepts the fact that she is going to play in her first World Cup, a ‘real’ moment, but one she is taking her progress.
“It was never ‘I’m going there’,” He said.
“It was just a goal that I just started to shut down slowly. But as soon as [head coach Mitchell] Those words said, I really loved, ‘Okay, I am now in it’.
“I just want to be as the player I am, just be fearless, what am I doing really.
“We talked to the girls who won 2014 and they just want us to achieve that feeling. Doing so with this flock of girls would be super cool because it is a special group.”
For his parents, who will be flying from New Zealand to England for the World Cup, will there be a divided loyalty when it comes to whom they will support?
“They are supporting 100% red roses,” she laughs laughing. “My whole family is behind us all over the world.”
