England to the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final: Overcomes France

England qualifies for the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup final! After a highly contested match against France, England’s “Red Roses” prevailed with a score of 35-17, securing their place in the tournament final. The match, marked by intensity and struggle, demonstrated the strength and determination of the English team, despite facing a formidable opponent. The victory, although celebrated, revealed areas for improvement for England. Adverse weather conditions affected the precision in ball handling, and France, with a little more cunning, could have further complicated the match. Despite this, England demonstrated its ability to overcome and secure the victory. Ellie Kildunne was key in the English offense, scoring two crucial tries. The first, after a brilliant assist from Hannah Botterman, and the second, taking advantage of a favorable rebound to overcome the French defense. Amy Cokayne and Abbie Ward also contributed with tries, demonstrating the power of the English team.

The English game plan in the first half did not fully adapt to the conditions, leading to uncharacteristic errors. France, despite its own difficulties, came close to taking the lead, but a lack of precision prevented them from capitalizing on their opportunities. It is important to note that France faced this match without some key figures. England will face Canada in the final. This victory over France, their 32nd consecutive unbeaten match and the 17th against France, underlines their dominance in world rugby.

John Mitchell’s team has endured enormous pressure throughout the tournament. Overcoming this challenge represents a valuable step for England. The champions’ mentality was put to the test, and now they have one more match to secure their place in rugby history.
