Women’s Rugby World Cup: England advances, who will stop the Red Roses?

The Women’s Rugby World Cup reaches its decisive phase

The group stage has concluded and the Women’s Rugby World Cup enters its crucial stage. England, after a slight stumble against Australia, managed to prevail with a score of 47-7 in Brighton. Despite the defeat, Australia also secured their place in the knockout stage. Canada demonstrated its potential with a resounding victory over Scotland, while New Zealand dominated Ireland with an impressive 40-0.

Who can stop England?

During the first 20 minutes, Australia offered a plan to stop the “Red Roses”. They used kicks from their own half, played with 50:22 tactics, disrupted the game, and attacked with great intensity. Australia scored first, and during the first quarter of the match, England was outplayed.

England finally recovered and achieved a 47-7 victory, but it wasn’t as easy as some anticipated. Australia challenged the “Red Roses” in a way that no other team had managed in this tournament. The English defense proved to be solid, limiting Australia to a single try.
