Women’s Rugby World Cup: England, Canada and New Zealand to Quarterfinals. Analysis and Key Points.

The Women’s Rugby World Cup reaches its decisive stage

After the group stage, the Women’s Rugby World Cup enters its crucial phase. England, after an initial stumble against Australia, demonstrated their power with a 47-7 victory in Brighton. Despite the defeat, Australia also advanced to the next phase. In other matches, Canada shone with a resounding victory over Scotland, while New Zealand crushed Ireland with a score of 40-0.

Who can stop England?

During the first 20 minutes, Australia showed a game plan that could be the key to stopping the “Red Roses”. With strategic kicks and excellent intensity in the attack, they managed to put England in trouble.

Finally, England recovered and secured the victory, but Australia proved to be a rival that can challenge the English. Their strategy could be a model for other teams. Megan Jones, center of England, commented: “We know that defense is key to winning championships. We have full confidence in our defense.” England is the favorite, but will have to overcome difficult tests in the coming weeks, where its defense will be put to the test.

Canada and New Zealand emerge as serious competitors. Canada, with its outstanding victory over Scotland (40-19), demonstrated its ability to adapt and its power.

“It wasn’t perfect, but we are happy with the victory,” said Canada coach Kévin Rouet.

The situation in Wales

Wales had a disappointing performance, with three losses in three matches. Despite the initial optimism, they did not achieve the expected results. The lack of leadership and playing time in the professional league (PWR) affected their performance.

Co-captain Alex Callender expressed her disappointment and apologized to the fans. Australia, despite losing to England, secured their place in the quarter-finals. The Princess of Wales’ visit to the locker room was a special moment for the team.

Canada, their quarter-final opponent, has won the previous seven encounters. Australia will need to raise their game to advance to the semi-finals.
