Burton was part of the England squad that won the 2025 World Cup<\/a>, as well as the 2026 Six Nations Championship.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has played in all three of Trailfinders’ campaigns since they joined the PWR, and says the over-riding emotion is pure excitement heading into Sunday.<\/p>\n

She said: “The fact that it is at The Stoop, an all-London final. You’ll be queens of the PWR, queens of London by the end of this.<\/p>\n

“It will just be a spectacular occasion, and occasions like this will be new to some of our girls, but a lot of us have been in situations where we’ve been surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people.<\/p>\n

“It’s just trying to get those other girls prepared for what might come at them, but at the same time try to enjoy the moment because there will only be a certain number of times in your career you get moments like this.”<\/p>\n

Coach Maddison says he’s well aware of the challenge facing his side but just wants his players to relish the whole experience.<\/p>\n

“The key thing is for everyone to enjoy themselves, and the time together – it’s our last week together as a group,” he added.<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, we’re all competitive, and we all want to win, so let’s put our best foot forward, competing in a final.<\/p>\n

“It’s going to be a tough game. Saracens have played really well all season, they’ve probably been the most consistent team across the season.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Burton was part of the England squad that won the 2025 World Cup, as well as the 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761947,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-761946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
