England Wins Third Women's Rugby World Cup Before Record 81,000 Fans

England's women's rugby team won the Women's Rugby World Cup for the third time, defeating Canada 33-13 at Twickenham in front of a record crowd of over 81,000 fans. The Red Roses extended their unbeaten streak to 33 games and showcased a dominant performance with tries from Ellie Kildunne, Amy Cokayne, Alex Matthews, and Abbie Ward. Despite an early score by Canada, England's physicality and tactical superiority allowed them to control the match, overcoming Canada's spirited effort in the second half. The final marked a significant moment for women's rugby, with widespread support including messages from the Princess of Wales and King Charles, highlighting the growing prominence of the sport. Canada, ranked second globally, had notably fundraised nearly $1 million to support their World Cup campaign, underscoring the disparities in funding between teams. England's victory not only ended their previous World Cup final disappointments but also capped a remarkable year for women's sports in England, following the football Lionesses' European title win.
