England Wins Women’s Rugby World Cup: The Red Roses are Champions!

Red Roses Conquer the World: England Crowned at Women’s Rugby World Cup

In a tournament that redefined the limits of the sport, England, before a record crowd, proved their worth and won their third title in the Women’s Rugby World Cup. The team, burdened with the responsibility of being the favorite, met expectations and established itself as a benchmark in the sport. This World Cup will be etched in history. Attendance records were widely surpassed, generating a wave of enthusiasm on social media and in the stadiums. England has given its nation new heroines, who join the Lionesses in the sporting pantheon. The 2025 England team joins those of 1994 and 2014 as World Cup legends. After the bitter defeat three years ago against the Black Ferns, this victory represented redemption. Since John Mitchell was appointed coach, the goal was clear: September 27th. The reputation of the Red Roses depended on it. With an undefeated streak of 32 matches and six consecutive Grand Slams, the team couldn’t afford to fail in the final.

The pressure was high, but the team knew how to handle it. From the start of the World Cup, with victories against the United States in Sunderland and Samoa, to the matches in Brighton and Bristol, the Red Roses demonstrated their superiority. The team’s success lies in its cohesion and its ability to withstand pressure. The team culture, driven by Mitchell, is based on the importance of each player, regardless of whether they are a starter or a substitute.

Players like Emily Scarratt, in her fifth World Cup, and Marlie Packer, former captain, are examples of the team’s dedication and commitment. The collective mentality was key to achieving the goal.

“We are guided by our culture,” Mitchell said.

The final, played against Canada, was a tense and hard-fought match. Despite a promising start by Canada, England took control. Ellie Kildunne scored a spectacular try, followed by those of Amy Cokayne and Alex Matthews.

With a 21-7 lead at halftime, England kept their cool. Despite the yellow card to Hannah Botterman and Canada’s second try, England regained control, and Matthews sealed the victory with her second try.

“We’ve talked about inspiring the nation and putting women’s rugby on the map, and honestly, I think we’ve done that throughout the tournament,” Aldcroft said.
