England defeated Canada 21-12 in the WXV 1 final in Vancouver with the Red Roses extending their winning streak to 20 with a three-try comeback victory
Maud Muir charges over for England’s first try in the 19-12 victory over Canada for the WXV 1 title.Maud Muir charges over for England’s first try in the 19-12 victory over Canada for the WXV 1 title.England has secured back-to-back WXV1 titles with a classy 21-12 comeback victory over Canada that clinches them a 20th successive victory and confirms them as the hot favourites for the 2025 Rugby World Cup next August.
Yet Canada dominated early, winning a penalty within 20 seconds of kickoff and laying siege to England’s line. Despite six successive victories, the home side had lost their last 12 against the Red Roses so showed their intent by spurning three points to chase five. After three furious minutes of mauling, Justine Pelletier’s snipe from a metre out secured a 5-0 lead.
Canada carried their momentum into the second half and when England’s Kildunne was yellow carded for a cynical offside play to kill another break, England were in trouble. Canada used the one-woman advantage to rip through the middle with fast passes and runners and captain Tessier iced a brilliant movement in the 51st minute by slicing inside and scoring under the posts to restore a 12-7 lead.
