An Australian newspaper used a helicopter to spy on England's Lionesses training before their World Cup semi-final against Australia. The Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney sent up the aircraft to capture images from the Lionesses’ behind-closed-doors session at their training base as they finalised plans for the semi-final against the co-hosts on Wednesday. Alongside the headline “Eleven Poms against a nation: Welcome to the jungle, Lionesses”, the pictures show the head coach, Sarina Wiegman, and her staff training. The newspaper wrote: “If England’s Lionesses thought they would happily fly into the World Cup semi‑final under the radar they were in for a rude shock. We’ve sent the chopper up to see how the old enemy are preparing … Welcome to the jungle, Lionesses, we’ve got fun and games.

They then referenced when Australian opener David Warner and his teammates were unhappy when the ball was changed mid-innings during England’s victory in the fifth Ashes Test last month, writing: “It might not be in the spirit of football, but after last month’s men’s Ashes cricket series we will let the moral arbiters England pass judgment on what is and isn’t acceptable in the world of sport.” Australia and England have a longstanding sporting rivalry but so far have behaved themselves ahead of the big match, which will see one team go to the final and play Spain, who won their own semi-final game against Sweden.
