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 an impressive 25-minute start, where 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.
Coach Kévin Rouet expressed his optimism about his team’s aspirations to win the tournament for the first time. Rouet declared in a press conference after the match: “We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before. If you are number two in the world and you don’t come to win the World Cup, then don’t come. It’s important for us. It won’t be easy, regardless of whether it’s England or France, but I’m already excited.”We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before.
