Despite Mitchell openly stating that the WXV Global Series, with no trophy at the end of it, would provide new opportunities, losing in front of a 59,871 crowd at the home of English rugby would not have been part of the long-term development plan.
尽管米切尔公开表示，最终没有奖杯的 WXV 全球系列赛将提供新的机会，但在英国橄榄球之家在 59,871 名观众面前失利并不是长期发展计划的一部分。
When Braxton Sorensen-McGee, with less than 10 minutes remaining, landed a tough conversion to bring the Black Ferns level at 19-19, the Red Roses once again found themselves in a sticky situation.

A draw wasn't good enough, so we had to get the points somehow," Harrison told BBC Radio 5 Live. "It's massive - it goes back to that World Cup final [in 2022] for me - beating them on home soil was fantastic and it being such a close game is great for women's rugby."
平局还不够好，所以我们必须想办法拿到分数，”哈里森告诉 BBC 广播 5 直播。 “这对我来说意义重大——这可以追溯到[2022年]世界杯决赛——在主场击败他们真是太棒了，而且如此势均力敌的比赛对女子橄榄球来说非常棒。”

"To put it into context, the Red Roses don't play New Zealand and Canada often - it's important to learn how to win tight Test matches," Mitchell said.
“结合实际情况来看，红玫瑰队并不经常与新西兰和加拿大队比赛——学习如何赢得激烈的测试赛非常重要，”米切尔说。
"The message at half-time was that this game will turn - we will get some possession and let's attack it. "The girls took the handbrake off and tried to go to space, even from deep, and were still tenacious without the ball, which was awesome."
“半场结束时传达的信息是，这场比赛将会发生逆转——我们将获得一些控球权，然后我们就进攻。 “女孩们松开手刹，试图进入太空，即使是从深处，而且在没有球的情况下仍然顽强，这太棒了。”

Despite all that, an undefeated run spanning four years has been extended further.
尽管如此，长达四年的不败纪录被进一步延长。
