One Win Away From Rugby World Cup Final, Canadian Women Take on New Zealand
Jorja Miller's injury leads to Kennedy Tukuafu starting as openside flanker, impacting New Zealand's lineup in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final against Canada.
- New Zealand confirmed that Jorja Miller has been ruled out of their Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final against Canada at Ashton Gate, removing a back-row starter from the squad.
- Miller has enjoyed a standout tournament as the current World Rugby Women's Sevens Player of the Year, making her 15-a-side international debut earlier this year after helping New Zealand to gold at Paris 2024.
- Kennedy Tukuafu replaces Miller in the starting line-up as co-captain and openside flanker, with Coach Allan Bunting naming four changes including Sylvia Brunt back in midfield for Friday's match against Canada.
- The setback is a significant blow to the champions, but Allan Bunting's Starting XV still holds more than 400 international caps ahead of the September 27 finals day at Twickenham.
- The rivalry is tight after Canada women's rugby team, ranked number two, drew 27-27 with New Zealand, ranked number three, in May and won last year, highlighting a competitive semi-final.
