BRISTOL, England – Canada’s team is confident in its chances of winning the title in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final to be held next week at Twickenham, regardless of the opponent.
The North American team demonstrated their power by defeating New Zealand with a score of 34-19 in Bristol on Friday. Their overwhelming performance began with a relentless 25-minute attack, scoring three consecutive tries against the current champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup.
Canada will face the winner of the match between England and France in the final, the hosts and favorites of the tournament, which was played in the second semi-final on Saturday.
We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before.
Kévin Rouet, Canada Coach
Coach Kévin Rouet firmly expressed his team’s ambition to win the tournament for the first time.
“We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before,” Rouet affirmed in a press conference after the match.Canada superó a las campeonas mundiales reinantes en Bristol el viernes.“If you’re second in the world and not coming to win the World Cup, then don’t come. It’s important to us. It won’t be easy, regardless of whether it’s England or France, but I’m already excited.”
Rouet’s team will have to make history if they want to lift the trophy, but they have already broken records on Friday. The 15-point difference represented New Zealand’s biggest defeat in the tournament, ending an 18-match winning streak in the World Cup for the Black Ferns.
Canada remains undefeated in its last three matches against New Zealand, with two wins and a draw.
His performance was exceptional, but they will probably have to raise their level in next week’s final.
When asked if her team had more to offer, captain Alex Tessier did not hesitate.
Yes, I have a lot of faith in this team. There’s still a lot to give. I’ve said it before, we build after every training session, we build in every game. Obviously, we’ll review tonight’s win and quickly focus on England or France.
