Sarah Hunter is proud to be the most-capped player in England, but she is focused on the World Cup.
Hunter will become the second former prop in England's history to play 137 times when she starts against France.
She didn't want to talk much about the milestone, but she said she felt very honoured.
The focus needs to be on what is at hand.
Hunter is about breaking records not equalling them, so head coach Simon Middleton will hold back praise until the next time she plays.
He said that he has never seen Sarah play poorly or train poorly. The poor is the best part.
While the side celebrates Hunter's milestone, some players are facing uncertain futures.
Laura Keates is a member of the England squad while Lydia Thompson is a member of theWorcester team.
The players have a lot of support from the rest of the team.
They have everything they need in order to do their job. It is difficult for them.
If you ask them about it, they'll say their focus is here. We hope everything goes well for them and they know we are here for them.
