SYDNEY -- England's Dutch manager Sarina Wiegman has taken a crash course on the England-Australia sporting rivalry this week. The front page of Monday's Australian Daily Telegraph would've helped bring her up to speed. The headline rang out: "Now for the Poms!"
The accompanying text detailed the tale of this summer's sporting match-ups between the two nations: the battle for The Ashes in men's and women's cricket, and the recent netball World Cup final. In all three, it was Australia who took home the spoils. Now, with the two countries meeting again on Wednesday in their Women's World Cup semifinal in Sydney, the local press and public want an Aussie clean sweep.
