Australia forward on adapting to playing overseas and preparing to pack the waterproofs for this year’s Women’s World Cup at home
Mary Fowler is becoming accustomed to astonished looks from her Manchester City teammates when she advises those heading to this summer’s World Cup to pack woollens and waterproofs. “A lot of the girls are going to Australia and New Zealand with their countries,” says the Matildas striker. “But most of them expect it to be quite warm, so I’m excited to see how they’re going to react when they realise it’s freezing cold.
“Sydney will be chilly but I feel really bad for the girls in New Zealand, the southern hemisphere winter’s going to be freezing there! But, hey, if they’ve lived in England, they’ll survive.”
