England Crowned at the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup
The 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup has come to an end, and the England team has met expectations by winning their third title at Twickenham. Before a record crowd of almost 82,000 fans, the “Red Roses” starred in a memorable day on and off the field.
Canada, which reached the final thanks in part to a crowdfunding campaign, also had an outstanding participation in the tournament.
What’s Next for Women’s Rugby?
After the conclusion of the tournament, important questions arise about the future of women’s rugby and the path forward for the champions, England.
England’s Dominance: The “Red Roses” have proven to be a dominant force in the sport, with only one defeat in their last 63 matches.
Meg Jones: The inspiring story of Meg Jones, who has managed to inspire an entire generation.
John Mitchell: The possibility of John Mitchell coaching the British and Irish Women’s Lions.
With an exceptional performance, England establishes itself as the dominant force in current women’s rugby.England won their third World Cup title in front of almost 82,000 fans at TwickenhamThe tournament has demonstrated the potential of the sport and what can be achieved with serious investment. The support was brilliant and set a precedent. Now large-scale investment is needed for all teams to improve.
The PWR is the best competition in the world, but it’s not enough. The British & Irish Lions tour is expected to maintain the interest of casual fans, while it remains to be seen what will happen with the R360. Essentially, now is the time to build.It was a near-perfect afternoon at Twickenham as England defeated Canada in front of a record crowdLessons should be taken from women’s soccer and interest should be kept high.
It is important that the work does not stop. Fans should express their support, but officials must make it as accessible as possible for them. It is also time for the unions to make decisions. Either they invest in women’s programs and get rewards like the Red Roses and the RFU, or they fall behind.
This is, as expected, a pivotal moment for the game, but it needs follow-up. The home nations, as well as New Zealand and Australia, nations with existing infrastructure and a base beneath their women’s teams, run the risk of the gap between them and England widening if they do not invest in national programs and their respective competitions.
