6. Australians astonished by RWC 2025 crowds
It is not often an Aussie sportsperson compliments the English, but Wallaroos assistant coach Chris Delooze could not help it, at a press conference ahead of his side's crucial Pool A clash v USA.
"It’s amazing the way that the English fans have jumped on board. Last week there might have been 12,000 people, although 11,500 were against us when we started wrapping up the score," Delooze said with a smile.
"But at the same time it’s what the girls in every nation deserve, to turn up and see the support that’s given to this sport in particular is inspiring. It’s been an incredible event so far and the support we’re getting from home is amazing."
