It's over: Canada Ends England's Unbeaten Streak in Women's Rugby with a 24-21 Win
Shoshanah Semanutafa scored the late try as Canada handed England its first loss since the 2022 World Cup final.
- On Friday, Canada defeated top-ranked England 24-21 in a WXV Global Series women's rugby match at BMO Field in Toronto, ending England's 41-game unbeaten streak.
- England entered the match holding a 41-game unbeaten run spanning 1,434 days, with the team's previous loss occurring during the 2022 World Cup final. Canada had drawn 26-26 with England in Exeter last month, denting the Red Roses' aura of invincibility.
- A record-setting crowd of 18,621 spectators braved chilly conditions at BMO Field to witness the upset. Center Shoshanah Seumanutufa scored the winning try in the 78th minute, capping a spirited Canadian comeback from a 21-19 deficit.
- Veteran Canadian forward Tyson Beukeboom announced her retirement before kickoff, concluding a 13-year international career as Canada's most capped player with 84 appearances across four Rugby World Cups.
- Both teams will meet again next Friday in Ottawa as part of the Rugby Rematch Tour, with both nations already qualified for the 2029 World Cup in Australia and building toward the tournament.
