Red Roses ace MacDonald backing boss Mitchell to guide England to World Cup glory
Red Roses ace MacDonald backing boss Mitchell to guide England to World Cup glory The 61-year-old former New Zealand men's boss took the reins at Allianz Stadium in 2023 and has since led his side to back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams MacDonald feels Mitchell has the squad in the right frame of mind to win a trophy (Image: Richard Washbrooke/Imagecomms) Claudia MacDonald believes the 'incredibly honest' John Mitchell is the right man to lead the Red Roses to global glory this summer. The 61-year-old former New Zealand men's boss took the reins at Allianz Stadium in 2023 and has since led his side to back-to-back Six Nations Grand Slams. England are currently the world's number one ranked side and are enjoying a 25-game unbeaten run stretching back to the 2022 final, in which New Zealand became world champions. But this time around, winger MacDonald feels Mitchell has the squad in the right frame of mind to win a trophy that has eluded them since 2014. Red Roses LG 'John Mitchell has been an absolute game changer for us,' she said, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'It is always about having the right coach at the right time and he is the coach we needed at this time. 'He is an incredibly honest person. He is himself and he does silly things which makes him more human. It means that we can do silly things, and it reduces the expectation on each of us to be perfect. 'Naturally we're all incredibly competitive, but I think the way that he conducts himself, he drives high standards, he wants us to be the best version of ourselves, but he also recognises that comes with making mistakes along the journey. He values the mistakes and the errors as much as he does the bits that we get right. 'That is huge for us as a team. To get to a new place where we are even better than we already are, know that we can make mistakes, that we can learn from them, and we can be better for it.' MacDonald is hoping England's exploits on the pitch this summer can take the women's game to new heights, a task that will be aided by all matches being broadcast on free-to-air television. And the 29-year-old is looking forward to her sport having elevated visibility across the country. 'The live free-to-air TV is huge because you pick up so many more fans,' continued MacDonald. 'The biggest barrier that we face in women's rugby is getting people to watch it. 'I've never really heard someone say they watched [women's rugby], and they hated it. It is always, they watched it, they loved it, and they were surprised they did. 'Being live in the middle of the day is going to be massive because people can just easily pop it on TV and they will see us. It will bring new people to the game.' LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs. Life's Good for sport fans as LG's leading technology provides an unmatched immersive sporting atmosphere thanks to incredible OLED picture quality, Motion Pro technology for the smoothest action possible and unbelievable soundbar surround sound to bring the stadium feeling home. The action this summer will also provide MacDonald with the chance to build on her recent run in the side and put her recent injury woes behind her. The Exeter Chiefs star has spent two lengthy spells out with neck injuries in recent years, admitting she considered retirement and was left 'terrified to be near a rugby pitch'. But now back to full fitness, she is ready to make up for lost time having missed the most recent tournament three years ago. 'I love being around the girls, that is where you want to be,' she added. 'You want to be pushing through the hard work together because you come out stronger as a team. Article continues below 'I've loved being back and hopefully I can put my best foot forward.' Members of the Red Roses England women's rugby team joined a recent training session with LG and girls from Turing House School in Whitton, Richmond as part of the leading TV manufacturer's ongoing partnership with the RFU. The LG All In Pledge encourages people to engage and watch women's sport. Together we can grow support through fandom and audience numbers to inspire new players to pick up the sport themselves, as watching changes everything. For more information, go to

Anna Moorhouse ready to step up after Mary Earps' shock exit
Moorhouse received her first call-up to the Lionesses squad last summer has been a regular in Sarina Wiegman's squad since. The Orlando Pride keeper is yet to make her international debut, but 30-year-old is confident her experience elsewhere will stand her in good stead should the call come. 'My role doesn't change that much but I probably have to be a little bit more prepared in case something does happen,' she said, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'I was always prepared for that. 'I would love to get that first cap, it is something I have dreamed of for so many years. I will be ready if it comes, if it doesn't, I will still be ready and I will prepare Hannah in the right way. 'I have a lot of experience that comes with age, seeing so many games and being in different countries, different situations.' Moorhouse will head to Switzerland fresh from the regular NWSL season where her Orlando Pride side are attempting to defend the title they won last November. 'It makes it easier, especially for a goalkeeper,' she added. 'You don't get 10 minutes here, a couple of minutes there. You have to be ready for a full 90 or nothing. 'It helps that if I am called upon, I will be fresh and in the mentality of playing games, so I have that rhythm. My season should be peaking by the time the competition comes around.' Should Moorhouse take the pitch this summer, it will be just reward for a path less taken to the top. The 30-year-old has never represented her country at any age group and spent time in Bordeaux before establishing herself as a top-class No.1 stateside. 'It just shows you don't know how close you are, you don't know when things are going to happen,' she reflected. 'A lot of players have the traditional route through the age groups; I have never played for England. 'It just shows that everyone is on their own path, you can't look at other people and compare yourself to them. If you keep working hard, it could happen. 'This time last year, I didn't even know England were interested. I am just going with it and enjoying the time I have. I know I don't have 10 years of playing ahead of me.' The Lionesses will play their part in huge a summer of sport, with rugby's Red Roses and the England women's cricket side also taking on major tournaments. LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs and with all of the Lionesses' matches on free-to-air TV, Moorhouse knows first-hand the importance of making sport available to all. 'Growing up we didn't have all the subscriptions, so any game on BBC or ITV was on – it didn't matter what game it was,' she said. 'Being able to watch on TV makes it so much more accessible.' Members of the two England women's teams caught up with LG at St George's Park recently as part of the leading TV manufacturer's ongoing partnership with The FA and the RFU.

Leah Williamson ready to lead 'new England' into huge summer
The Lionesses are preparing to defend their continental title but do so with a squad that looks markedly different from three years ago, with a new crop of fresh faces such as Aggie Beever-Jones and Michelle Agyemang having broken into the squad. Captain Williamson will bring plenty of experience from previous major tournaments, as well as her own taste of continental success with club side Arsenal in May. 'I think it is exciting, we've said before we are a new England,' the 28-year-old said, as part of a new LG OLED TV collaboration ahead of this summer. 'We look different, women's football looks different, the task is different. 'It gets me smiling thinking about it because we have great memories and we want great memories again, and we are willing to work hard for them. 'It gives you a spike in your desire and all of those things to be better, and hopefully that means it is the start of a good summer.' Former England goalkeeper and media pundit, Rachel Brown-Finnis, sat down with two of England's most loved sporting teams, the Lionesses and Red Roses to discuss the upcoming summer of sport (Image: imagecomms) Williamson was embarking on her first major tournament as captain and her first competition as a starter for England in 2022. Since then, she has fought back from an ACL injury and has had to fight for her place back in the team.

Now, other sports are gaining similar attention with the Women's Rugby World Cup to follow the football in a huge summer of sport, and LG is helping the nation get closer to the action with LG OLED TVs. for the smoothest action possible and unbelievable soundbar surround sound to bring the stadium feeling home.

If I could go back and do it all over again, I would. 'We were lucky we were educated on how big that was and how amazing of an opportunity that was. The Red Roses and the Lionesses joined forces to to reflect on some of the nation's most memorable sporting TV moments and the importance of visibility. (Image: imagecomms) 'My advice is to just take it all in because it doesn't come around very often, and it is one of the greatest things to be able to do that on home soil, especially the level they are at and the hopes they have of success.'
