This time round, we have had a very strong winning mentality. We have played each game with a lot of belief in ourselves and that has been the biggest secret. In the previous tournaments, we have been losing by alim margins maybe a few points or a try but this time, we decided to work on the finer details and being a bit tighter and hence the improved results. Our ambition remains to battle for promotion to the World series and I am confident that we will do it.
The Lionesses are aiming to be among four teams that will play in the Series qualifier in Los Angeles, in May.
