The triumph was built on an impressive 25-minute burst, during which they scored three consecutive tries against the current champions, who suffered a historic defeat in the World Cup.\n\nIn the final, Canada will face the winner of the match between England and France, which will be played on Saturday in the second semi-final, teams that are also strong contenders for the title.\n\n<h2>Coach&#8217;s Statements<\/h2>\n\nCoach K\u00e9vin Rouet firmly expressed his team&#8217;s ambition to win the tournament for the first time.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;We came to win the World Cup, that&#8217;s what we said before,&#8221; Rouet declared in a press conference after the match.<\/p><cite>K\u00e9vin Rouet<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0919%2Fr1548136_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><figcaption>Canada swatted aside the reigning world champions in Bristol on Friday.\nMolly Darlington &#8211; World Rugby\/World Rugby via Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n&#8220;If you are number two in the world and you are not coming to win the World Cup, then don&#8217;t come.

The 15-point difference represented New Zealand&#8217;s biggest defeat in the tournament and ended a streak of 18 consecutive World Cup victories for the Black Ferns.\n\nCanada is currently undefeated in its last three matches against New Zealand, with two wins and one draw.\n\nHis performance was exceptional, but they will probably have to raise their level in the final next week.\n\nWhen asked if her team had more to offer, captain Alex Tessier did not hesitate.\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;Yes, I have a lot of confidence in this team,&#8221; Tessier told reporters.<\/p><cite>Alex Tessier<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n&#8220;There&#8217;s still a lot to give.
