The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it peraplay
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way peraplay
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany peraplay
And then Rice made a different kind of statement peraplay
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said peraplay
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us peraplay
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up peraplay
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty peraplay
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it peraplay
Rice has chosen to embrace it peraplay

“We went to Naples and won in Italy for the first time in ages peraplay
We beat Italy at Wembley after they beat us at the last Euros peraplay
Big performances peraplay
We’re ready, mentally peraplay
“We were watching the rugby the other night and seeing how those top teams like Ireland went out but they are the No peraplay
1 team in the world peraplay
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve peraplay
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win peraplay
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing peraplay
His first taste of international peraplay football came with Ireland, after all peraplay
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too peraplay
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos peraplay
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games peraplay between elite teams can go either way peraplay
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals peraplay
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another peraplay

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said peraplay
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there peraplay
But I think the team has evolved again peraplay
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed peraplay
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results peraplay
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined peraplay
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all peraplay
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much peraplay better peraplay

“We’ve had some people in before to do some talks,” Rice said peraplay
“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa peraplay
How to get over the line peraplay
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten peraplay
No matter what peraplay
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley peraplay
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage peraplay
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added peraplay
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins peraplay
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying peraplay

Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington peraplay
It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all peraplay
The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year peraplay
On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final peraplay

“It was a great victory peraplay
The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said peraplay
“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that peraplay
“It’s a fantastic competition and we’re all excited to be here playing the top teams in the world, coming off the World Cup last year and keeping the legacy going in New Zealand peraplay
“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here peraplay
The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing peraplay
“We have new coaching staff and we’re pleased that John Mitchell is here now and we’re looking to keep growing and building into next week’s game peraplay

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention peraplay
England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide peraplay
Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle peraplay
Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul peraplay
That was soon followed by another, Breach with one of the easiest finishes off her international career as she coasted over untouched on the left after Australia had again struggled to contain a rolling maul peraplay
Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time peraplay
Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting peraplay

Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed peraplay
England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try peraplay
To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter peraplay
That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play peraplay
New head coach John Mitchell joined up with the team on Thursday after his role with Japan’s men’s team ended at the Rugby World Cup pool stage, and watched England romp to an impressive win peraplay
