Canada, unstoppable in Women’s Rugby World Cup: Going for the title!

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 by a crushing start, with three consecutive tries in the first 25 minutes, against the current champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup. Canada will face England or France in the final, who will play the second semi-final on Saturday, being the hosts and favorites of the tournament.

Coach’s Statements

Coach Kévin Rouet firmly expressed 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 are second in the world and you are not coming to win the World Cup, then don’t come. It’s important for us. It won’t be easy, no matter if it’s England or France, but I’m already excited.”

Rouet’s team will seek to make history if they achieve victory, but they already broke records on Friday. The 15-point difference was New Zealand’s biggest defeat in the tournament and ended a streak of 18 consecutive World Cup wins for the Black Ferns. Canada is currently 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.

When asked if her team had more to offer, captain Alex Tessier did not hesitate. “Yes, I have a lot of faith in this team,” Tessier told reporters. “There’s still a lot to give. I’ve said it before, we build after every training session, we build in every match. Obviously, we’ll review tonight’s victory and quickly focus [on England or France]. “There is a lot of will in this team and a lot of excitement.”
