"I feel very honoured." Sarah Hunter to equal record against France

England Women’s captain Sarah Hunter is set to reach a huge milestone in her career this weekend as she will become the joint-most capped England player. 

England face a tough challenge as they lock horns with France and Hunter, despite her great achievement, has emphasised that her sole focus is the World Cup. 

"I feel very honoured,” she said. 

"It will be a nice moment but the focus has to be what is at hand." 

Head coach Simon Middleton dished out the praise when asked to comment on the 37 year-old Hunter as a player, adding that he would hold off on congratulations regarding the record as Hunter "is about breaking records not equalling them." 

"I've never seen Sarah playing poorly or training poorly," he added. "Her poor is most people's best."
