England’s Red Roses are world champions once again after defeating Canada 33–13 at Twickenham to secure their third Women’s Rugby World Cup title.

The victory, watched by a record crowd of 81,885, the largest ever attendance for a women’s rugby match, also extended England’s remarkable unbeaten streak to 33 games.

Canada made a strong start with winger Asia Hogan-Rochester crossing for the opening try, but England quickly replied.

Full-back Ellie Kildunne produced a stunning solo effort to level the score before hooker Amy Cokayne and flanker Alex Matthews added tries to give the Red Roses a 21–8 lead at halftime.

In the second half, Abbie Ward powered over to extend the advantage, while Matthews grabbed her second try to seal the result.

Canada fought hard and Hogan-Rochester struck again when England were reduced to 14 players, but the hosts’ dominance was never in doubt.

Flanker Sadia Kabeya, outstanding in both defense and attack, was named Player of the Match, while Matthews’ brace and Kildunne’s spark were crucial in unlocking Canada’s defense.

Head coach John Mitchell capped the night by being honored as Coach of the Year.

The victory was particularly sweet for England, who had fallen short in previous finals, including a narrow defeat to New Zealand in 2022.

It marks their first World Cup win since 2014, adding to titles in 1994 and 2014, and firmly establishing them as the leading force in women’s rugby.

For the players and the record-breaking crowd, the night was more than just a victory, it was a historic moment that highlighted both England’s dominance and the surging popularity of women’s rugby on the global stage.
