The Women’s Rugby World Cup Enters the Crucial Phase

The group stage has concluded and the Women’s Rugby World Cup enters its decisive stage. The teams are preparing for the matches that will define who advances in the competition. England, after a solid start, faced a challenge in their match against Australia, although they finally prevailed with a score of 47-7 in Brighton. Despite the defeat, Australia managed to qualify for the next round thanks to other results. Canada demonstrated its level with a resounding victory over Scotland, while New Zealand was dominant against Ireland, achieving a score of 40-0.

Who Will Stop England?

During the first 20 minutes of the match, Australia presented a game plan that showed how the “Red Roses” could be neutralized. They played with kicks from their own half, looked for the 50:22, disrupted the set piece, and attacked with great intensity when they reached England’s 22-meter zone. Australia scored first, and during the first quarter of the match, England was outplayed. However, England regrouped and achieved victory by 47-7, although it was not as easy as some predicted. Australia pressured the “Red Roses” in a way that no other team had managed in this tournament.
