I think that what's happening is that girls are enjoying playing. It's a lot more acceptable, and now we have a Women's Super League with hugely dedicated female role models - really committed players who people can see are dedicated and training as hard if not harder than any male players - that's all progressing the sport.

We always want to play and be dominant with the ball, but we respect the opposition.

We hope girls are inspired to start playing at a younger age and try to get to a World Cup themselves.
