England wins Women’s Rugby World Cup: The “Red Roses” are immortal!

The Red Roses Conquer the Women’s Rugby World in a Historic Tournament

In an environment marked by anticipation and pressure, England’s “Red Roses” proved their worth by winning the Women’s Rugby World Cup. The team, which carried the weight of being the favorite, met expectations and won their third world title. This tournament broke attendance records and generated a massive impact on social media and in the stands. England has found new heroines, who join the “Lionesses”, and the “Red Roses” conquered the most important prize in the sport, maintaining their essence. This triumph places the 2025 team in rugby history, alongside the 1994 and 2014 teams. After the defeat suffered three years ago against the Black Ferns, this victory represents redemption. Since John Mitchell was appointed coach, the team focused on this date, September 27. The “Red Roses” reached the final with a streak of 32 unbeaten matches and six consecutive Grand Slams. The goal was clear: to win the final before a record crowd of 81,885 spectators.

The team prepared for this moment, overcoming every obstacle since their defeat in Auckland in 2022. The pressure was constant, but the “Red Roses” managed it, from the start of the tournament in Sunderland to the victories in Northampton, Brighton, and Bristol. Cohesion and pressure management were key to the team’s success, along with its internal culture. Mitchell emphasized the importance of each player’s identity, regardless of their participation in the match.

The team had experienced players like Emily Scarratt and Marlie Packer, as well as others who aspired to play in the final. The team’s unity was fundamental, as highlighted by Zoe Aldcroft.

While individual plays, such as Kildunne’s, and teamwork were highlighted, the victory was the result of the effort of all 32 players. Mitchell emphasized the importance of team culture and focus on the present.

The final was contested, with Canada as a formidable rival. Canada scored first, but England took control, with Kildunne scoring a spectacular try. The team’s efforts led to Amy Cokayne and Matthews scoring.

Despite a moment of difficulty when Botterman was penalized, England recovered and, with the substitutes entering, secured the victory. Matthews scored his second try, sealing the triumph.

I couldn’t believe we’ve achieved this. We’re talking about inspiring the nation and putting women’s rugby on the map and, honestly, I think we’ve done that throughout the tournament. I know those girls can perform like that and we had faith in every single one of those girls. We had no doubt in our minds that we were going to go out there today and do this job.
