Canada, unstoppable: Confident to win the Women’s Rugby World Cup

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 achieved a resounding victory over New Zealand with a score of 34-19 in Bristol on Friday. The triumph was built on an impressive start of 25 minutes, scoring three consecutive tries against the current champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup. In the final, Canada will face the winner of the second semi-final, which will be played by England and France on Saturday, both considered favorites of the tournament.

Coach’s Statements

Coach Kévin Rouet firmly expressed his team’s ambition to conquer the tournament for the first time.

We came to win the World Cup, that’s what we said before. It’s important for us. It won’t be easy, no matter if it’s England or France, but I’m already excited.

Kévin Rouet

To achieve the title, Rouet’s team will have to make history, but they have already broken several records on Friday. The 15-point difference represented New Zealand’s biggest defeat in the tournament and ended a streak of 18 consecutive victories for the Black Ferns. Canada has gone three games without losing against New Zealand, with two wins and one draw. His performance was exceptional, but they will have to raise their level in the final next week.

Captain’s Confidence

When asked if the team has more to offer, captain Alex Tessier did not hesitate.

Yes, I have a lot of faith in this team. There’s 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 victory and quickly focus on England or France. There’s a lot of will in this team and a lot of emotion.
