England winger Abby Dow lit up Eden Park with two tries in their 26-19 win over Canada in the women's Rugby World Cup semi-finals but coach Simon Middleton said she would not even have been on the pitch had it not been for the Red Roses medical staff.
Dow was told she would be out of action for nine months when she suffered a broken leg against Wales in April but returned well ahead of schedule to be included in Middleton's squad for New Zealand.
"They have spent nights with her putting her through rigorous and Abby committed fully to doing it." The 25-year-old sprinted more than half the length of the pitch to finish off the move with a score that effectively clinched the game and extended England's record winning run to 30 matches.
