SOUNDBITE Gary Street, England head coach:
"We had to win yesterday. I think we all felt that. we definitely hadn't gone there to win all four games"
"The level of competition was just fantastic through across the word and it was definitely a tipping point for women's rugby."SOUNDBITE Sarah Hunter:
"The support that we've had both out in France and back here has been absolutely fantastic. I think we are only just beginning to realise how big this world cup has been. What a special moment this occasion walking back with these medals round our neck and carrying the trophy back actually isSOUNDBITE Katy McLean England captain:
"I think ideally you know, as a group of players , you want to have the opportunity to be a professional athlete and hopefully something like this, like winning the world cup in this stage and in this manner, allows us to do that."
"All the girls here have got jobs, like Gary said, some will be going back to work tomorrow. I'm still on six weeks holiday. I've got to move out some classrooms and that kind of stuff. I should have been in a meeting at 10'o clock today and things come up don't they.
