Canada, confident: They go for glory in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final

BRISTOL, England – Canada is confident in its chances of winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham next week, regardless of the opponent. The North American team defeated New Zealand with a score of 34-19 in Bristol on Friday. The victory was cemented with a sweeping 25-minute offensive, achieving three consecutive tries against the defending champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup. England or France, who faced each other in the second semi-final, will be Canada’s opponents in the final.

Coach’s Statements

Coach Kévin Rouet expressed optimism about 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 added:

If you’re second in the world and not coming to win the World Cup, 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 win the trophy, but they already broke records on Friday. The 15-point margin was 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 up their game in next week’s final.

Captain’s Statements

When asked if her team had more to offer, captain Alex Tessier did not hesitate.

Yes, I have a lot of confidence in this team. There is a lot to give. I’ve said it before, we build after every training session, we build after every match. Obviously, we will review tonight’s victory and quickly focus [on England or France]. There is a lot of will in this team and a lot of emotion.
