England Seeks to Consolidate its Dominance in the Women’s Rugby World Cup

England began their participation in the Women’s Rugby World Cup with a demonstration of power, leaving the competition wondering if anyone could stop them. After their inaugural 69-7 victory over the United States, the questions remain. The “Red Roses” are emerging as the favorites of the tournament, although they are currently in second place in Group A. Australia leads the group after their 73-0 victory over Samoa, giving them a slight advantage in points difference over England. This means the English women will be looking for a strong start to rectify the situation.
