Botterman ready for Maher showdown as Red Roses prepare for opener

By James Toney Hannah Botterman has started the bidding for Ilona Maher's World Cup shirt – but it's not exactly generous. Prop Botterman has become a core part of John Mitchell's Red Roses side, who take on Maher's USA in the opening match of the Rugby World Cup in Sunderland on Friday. She saw the impact of the sport's most-followed social media star when she joined Bristol Bears for the conclusion of the recent PWR season. But she's not the sort to be star-struck. 'I said I'd give her a fiver for her shirt but she's probably had a higher bid, I imagine,' she joked. Mitchell's squad is unchanged from the team that swept past France 40–6 in their final warm-up match. Captain Zoe Aldcroft will lead her side out from blindside flanker, while Loughborough Lightning's Sadia Kabeya starts at openside ahead of former captain Marlie Packer, who misses out despite serving her one-match ban. Vice-captain Megan Jones is alongside established midfield partner Tatyana Heard, while Natasha Hunt and Zoe Harrison are retained as the preferred half-back pairing. Jess Breach, Abby Dow and Ellie Kildunne – who scored a combined 18 tries during England's Six Nations Grand Slam – form a lethal back three, while replacement Emily Scarratt is set to feature in her fifth World Cup. Officials from the Football Association and Rugby Football Union have worked hard to draw Lionesses fans across to the Red Roses. Leah Williamson even stopped off at Twickenham just hours after lifting the Euros trophy again in Switzerland. However, unlike Sarina Wiegman's team – who entered their Euro defence after far-from-flawless preparation – Botterman knows the Red Roses, unbeaten in 27 matches since their final defeat in 2022, carry a much heavier weight of expectation. 'You look at what they did in the Euros and what that did for women's sport, not just women's football,' she added. 'We want to have a similar effect. For women's rugby, it would be unbelievable to see a boom in participation. Hopefully we can get to the final and reproduce what the football girls did. 'We've got real confidence in the camp but we can't get too far ahead of ourselves. We need to be where our feet are. We know what we're about, we know we're a very good team, but we know we need to perform. We know we have the ability.' Bristol team-mate Abbie Ward, who only returned to action last year after giving birth to her daughter Hallie, is making her third appearance at a World Cup and knows first-hand that even the best-laid plans can go awry. For all the recent Grand Slam glory, final defeats to New Zealand in Belfast and Auckland in the last two editions still sting. England may be strong favourites on home soil, but they have lost five of the last six finals. 'I don't know a time when the Red Roses haven't been under pressure. I've been part of two World Cups when we've gone in as favourites and we haven't won,' she said. 'The day the Red Roses don't have that pressure will feel weird. I think we enjoy it, we thrive on it. It's something we can use in our favour. It's a home World Cup so that's an advantage – all that extra noise, having our friends and family there. The girls will harness it and hopefully we'll see that in the performances.' Ward remembers a time when she couldn't give away tickets for England games, but with a record 40,000-plus crowd expected at the Stadium of Light – and the Allianz Stadium final now a sell-out – those days are long gone. 'When I was coming through as a junior, I didn't know any England players, I didn't even know there was a World Cup in England back in 2010,' she added. 'We talk about 'see it to be it' – girls can aspire to be where we are, there's a genuine pathway and they can be professional rugby players. 'There's been so much growth. Regardless of results, the momentum that's been building for the last decade has been huge. I was lucky to be part of the cohort that saw the change from amateur to professional. It's unbelievable for the game and for women's sport, be it cricket, netball or football. We want to be part of that.' Ward doesn't shy away from the fact the Red Roses need to win battles both on and off the field – and Maher shows that personality and performance need not be mutually exclusive. 'I think it's important that we share stuff; women's rugby is doing it differently,' she said. 'We are showing individual characters. That's what people want to see. The beauty of a rugby team is that everyone is a different personality. What would be amazing is if, off the back of this World Cup, we've got more household names among the Red Roses. 'Ilona taught the Bristol Bears a lot about how she interacted with the fan base. She has a huge online presence, but she has earned it and it's all very genuine. I've only played alongside her, so I'm looking forward to playing against her.'

Celtic's lack of deals 'not my decision'

Manager Brendan Rodgers insists the failure to strengthen Celtic's squad for their Champions League play-off with Kairat was "not my decision" and concedes that he has to "accept where it's at". The Scottish champions - heavy favourites to progress - were listless in being held to a goalless draw by their Kazakhstan counterparts. Now they must travel more than 3,500 miles for next Tuesday's second leg, just short of the Chinese border, knowing they need a far better showing if they are to return to the top table of continental competition this season. Celtic have recruited seven players this summer, paying fees for Benjamin Nygren, Hayato Inamura, Shin Yamada and Callum Osmand, with Kieran Tierney and Ross Doohan arriving on frees and Jahmai Simpson-Pusey on loan. Only Nygren and Tierney started on Wednesday, while the likes of Nicolas Kuhn and Kyogo Furuhashi - who starred in the Champions League last term - have been sold and not replaced, while Jota is out injured long term. "We need to improve the squad," Rodgers said. "There's been clarity around that for a long time. Supporters see that. Hopefully between now and the end of the season, the club will get that and that will support us. Listless Celtic held to goalless draw by Kairat What might veteran Vardy bring Celtic? Latest Celtic news, analysis and fan views "It's not my decision in the end. I can prepare the players that are here. We are clear on where we need to improve, and for whatever reason we haven't been able to. "There's only so many ways that I can dress up that we don't have the players here. It was pretty clear. You don't need to look into the future too far. "You know these games are tough and you want to have players in as quick as you can. But it is what it is. I have to accept where it's at." Rodgers has voiced his frustration already this summer about the lack of signings that would strengthen his starting XI. His patience snapped during an interview following Friday's Premier Sports Cup win over Falkirk but he did concede there is still time for deals to be done before the window closes late on Monday, 1 September. Bear in mind that, at this stage last season, Auston Trusty, Arne Engels and Luke McCowan had yet to arrive and Adam Idah was still holding a scarf above his head. However, that was lost on the fans who chanted 'sack the board' during the draw with Kairat. "What I do know is 'sack the board' usually means 'sack the manager'. It's normally the manager that goes when that starts to be sung," Rodgers said wryly. What are the Celtic fans saying? Lorenzo: Celtic cannot progress while the same faces run the show with their regular-managed decline. Kenny: Low-ball bids, gambling on a play off. The disgust in Brendan Rodgers is the same as every fan. Signing projects hoping one out of five sells for £20m. Shocking. Rufus: Teflon Brendan - no matter what happens, it's always someone else's fault. Either the board of the players. Graham: The usual from Rodgers…blah blah blah. Andy: The issue with signings is not fees, it's timing. Jota is out long term, Kuhn was sold weeks ago. So the club are presumably signing two wingers. And yet we can't get one signed before the important games have started. It's the same for years. Tony: The transfer dealings aren't good enough but maybe we also need to look at Rodgers' failure to evolve in terms of set up. A team of players who go side to side with no one willing to try something different to create space for a forward pass. Rory: That one is on Rodgers and the players. Should have beaten them with what we had. Dave: Rodgers has the perfect excuse to leave after this season, lack of urgency and quality about this team. The board have rolled the dice and failed, this is on them. Ivor: Brendan working his ticket again? Fans going to hound out Peter Lawwell again? Just lucky Rangers haven't got their act together. Sack the board. Michelle: Not nearly good enough. Kyogo and Kuhn are long gone and Idah is not anywhere near the standard we need. Wullie: "Sack the board"? Absolutely hilarious. The Celtic board is to blame for the failure of a team of millionaires and its millionaire manager to beat a team from Kazakhstan? Eric: You get what you pay for! John: Lack of re investment of the transfer revenue clearly demonstrates the lack of ambition of the club.

School mom reveals rare peek into Kate Middleton's parenting and private life: "I do see her a lot..."

It's a side of the Princess of Wales we rarely get to see. Kate Middleton might be the future queen of England, but when it comes to parenting, she's just like any other mom on the sidelines. At the premiere of The Real Housewives of London, cast member Panthea Parker shared a rare glimpse into the Princess of Wales' life as a school mom, revealing that Kate is a constant presence at her children's sports games. 'I see her quite a few times because my son's school plays against her son's school,' Parker told Hello!. 'So they play rugby and football against each other so we're always at her school or my school. I do see her a lot but not to talk to, just from afar. So classy, so lovely, and she never misses any of her children's matches, so really amazing.' A hands-on royal mom Kate, 43, and Prince William are raising Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, with a focus on family life despite their packed royal schedules. Kate has previously spoken about the challenges of balancing motherhood with duty. On the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast in 2020, she admitted to feeling 'mum guilt' when she couldn't do the school run. 'Even this morning, coming to the nursery visit here – George and Charlotte were like, 'Mummy how could you possibly not be dropping us off at school this morning?'' she said with a laugh. A family that loves sports The Wales family is known to be 'sport-mad,' as royal biographer Robert Jobson has put it. From rugby and football to their annual Wimbledon outings, the family embraces both playing and spectating. Jobson noted that George and Charlotte's appearances at big sporting events show not only their parents' enthusiasm but also a way to connect with the public. With summer holidays underway, the royal kids might be off the field for now — but according to Parker, fans can count on spotting their mom cheering from the sidelines once the school season kicks back in.
