BRISTOL, England – Canada is confident in its chances of conquering the Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham next week, 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 victory was cemented in a sweeping 25-minute performance, during which they achieved three consecutive tries against the current champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup.
England or France, who faced each other in the second semi-final on Saturday, will be Canada’s opponents in the final.
We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before.
Kévin Rouet, Coach
Coach Kévin Rouet expressed optimism about his team’s ambition to win the tournament for the first time.
Rouet stated in a press conference after the match: “We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before.”Canadá venció a las actuales campeonas del mundo en Bristol el viernes.“If you’re second in the world and not coming to win the World Cup, don’t come to the World Cup. It’s important for 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 already broke records on Friday. The 15-point difference was New Zealand’s biggest defeat in the tournament and ended a run of 18 consecutive World Cup wins for the Black Ferns.
Canada is now 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 the final next week.
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’s a lot left in the tank. I’ve said it before, we build after every training session, we build in every match. Obviously, we’ll review tonight’s win and quickly focus [on England or France]. There’s a lot of will in this team and a lot of emotion.
