US EditionEngland Wrestle with Emotions Ahead of Women's World Cup Final
England Women aim to end a three-year wait for the World Cup title with a 74% predicted chance of victory over Canada at a record 82,000-strong Twickenham crowd.
- Allianz Stadium, Twickenham will host the Women's Rugby World Cup final on Saturday with a sold-out crowd of around 82,000, breaking the one-off women's match record.
- After the 2022 final defeat, England Women enter on a 32-Test winning streak, aiming for a 33-game target to right past wrongs.
- Coach John Mitchell emphasised the team's mentality by naming an unchanged 23 Red Roses that beat France 35-17, saying `We actually like winning and we're not prepared to give that up.`
- Immediate stakes include how John Mitchell's tenure is judged after the final, as the Red Roses have not won since the 2014 World Cup and recent losses heighten expectations.
- Despite forecasts favouring England, Canada's semi-final form makes the game competitive as Canada Women reached their first final since 2014 after a 34-19 win and forecasts give England a 74% probability with a predicted scoreline England 32- 24 Canada.
