And the emotion? That comes from the heart, and from history.  

“I think we focus a lot on passion and a lot on being Scottish, especially when we come and play England,” Rollie says when asked how the squad plan to ensure their morale is in the right place for the game at Ashton Gate. “We focus on how we can get that emotional side up. 

“It doesn’t take much, to be fair. But [it’s about] how we can get ourselves riled up and almost just remember that they’re just rugby players like the rest of us. 

“Anyone can beat them on the day. It’s possible. 

“I think it’s just about getting the passion there and getting the braveheart feel of it.

“We’ve had really good performances so far and we need to take confidence from that and dig deep into how we’re going to play. Just having each other’s backs, going as a collective.

“Just belief and confidence in what we’re doing. And also just to keep going, keep taking over, keep breaking them down. We will get moments where we’re on top and it’s [about] taking that momentum and just literally not letting them have a second read. Just keep going, almost being brutal and taking the game to them.”

In the decisive match in Pool A last weekend, Australia at least managed to put England under some pressure. The home side did not take the lead until after the half-hour mark, and while the final score was an emphatic 47-7, Rollie believes that the Wallaroos’ fast start is a good example of the approach that needs to be taken.  

“We’ve looked at how we can get on top of them in the first 20 minutes and how we can keep that momentum,” she says. “We’ve had a look at how we can manipulate their backs, how we can manipulate their forwards to get them moving, how we can really focus on their weaknesses and exploit them in those areas. 

“We’re definitely looking to keep a lot of variety in our game. The way we’ve been playing lately, we’ve been getting the ball to our backs more and getting our points through that kind of side of things. England do a lot of driving mauls, a lot of pick and goes.

“So I think it’ll be a varied game at the weekend. Obviously we want to score in all areas of the pitch, if that’s under the posts through the forwards or out wide with the wings. Yeah, I think there’s going to be a big variety of play.”

A big variety of play, but none at all when it comes to concentration. “I think you can never switch off,” Rollie says when asked what is the biggest lesson she has learned from those 11 matches against England. “I think you’ll get caught out if you do switch off, even for a split second. 

“They’re strong, they’re powerful and they will take every opportunity that they get. So I think we just need to fully stay switched on for the full 80-85 minutes, whatever it takes.”  

Rollie won her 80th cap in last week’s loss to Canada, and, still only 30, she plans to keep adding to her tally for a while yet. “I’m massively proud of 80,” she says. “It’s another milestone, another target that I’ve hit.

“My aim is still to get 100. That’s only 20 away now – hopefully I can get another 10 and another 10. I think all my hard work over the last 10 years is definitely paying off by looking at that number.”
