England has triumphed over Canada with a 21-12 victory in the WXV 1 final held in Vancouver, marking their 20th consecutive win and securing back-to-back titles in the tournament. The Red Roses showcased their resilience and skill, overcoming a challenging match with three tries and solid defensive play.
The contest was closely contested, with Canada having previously pushed England to the limit in the 2022 World Cup semi-final and recently claiming victory over New Zealand in the Pacific Four Series. Entering the final as the world’s second-ranked team, Canada posed a significant threat to England, making this match a highly anticipated showdown.
With this latest win, England has solidified their status as the frontrunners for the upcoming 2025 World Cup, set to take place in England next August. The Red Roses' impressive performance continues to highlight their dominance in women's rugby.
