The &#8220;Red Roses&#8221; won their third title at Twickenham, in front of the impressive figure of almost 82,000 fans, setting a record for a women&#8217;s XV rugby match. A memorable day both on and off the field of play.\n\nCanada, which partly funded its participation in the tournament through crowdfunding, showed that reaching the final was already an achievement in itself.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Future Awaits Women&#8217;s Rugby?<\/h2>\n\n\nAlofoke Deportes analyzes the key questions after the end of the tournament.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>England demonstrates its supremacy and joins the list of immortals.<\/li><li>Meg Jones, from England, transforms personal pain into inspiration for a generation.<\/li><li>John Mitchell, open to coaching the British and Irish Women&#8217;s Lions.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\nAre English women the dominant force in this sport?\n\nEngland&#8217;s dominance is undeniable. They have achieved an impressive streak, with only one defeat in their last 63 matches, precisely in the 2022 final. Since then, they have maintained a crushing pace, being crowned champions. Gloucester-Hartpury consolidates its position in the Premier 15s (PWR).\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0929%2Fr1552878_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Inglaterra celebra su tercer t\u00edtulo mundial en Twickenham\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>England celebrated their third world title in front of almost 82,000 fans at Twickenham.<\/em>\n\nCurrently, the &#8220;Red Roses&#8221; are positioned as the most dominant force in rugby union, surpassing outstanding teams of the past such as the Springboks and the All Blacks.\n\nThe difference between England and its competitors is notable. While other nations are still developing, with players who are amateurs or semi-professionals, England has known how to make the most of the opportunities.\n\nThe way they handled the pressure this year was remarkable.\n\nThe fans played a crucial role. The fans were the soul of the tournament, filling the stadiums and creating an unforgettable atmosphere.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0903%2Fr1540628_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"La afici\u00f3n inglesa tuvo un gran apoyo durante todo el torneo\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>England had great support during the tournament.<\/em>\n\nThe inspiring stories behind Samoa&#8217;s campaign were also etched in memory. Players and staff took time from their full-time jobs to represent their country. Despite the adverse results, they lit up the tournament, engaging opposing teams in chants and dances after each match.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a2.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0908%2Fr1542761_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Samoa captur\u00f3 el torneo con su personalidad fuera del campo en la Copa Mundial de Rugby Femenino\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Samoa captivated the tournament with their off-field personality at the Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup.<\/em>\n\nThe 31-31 draw between Australia and the United States was another highlight, with both teams fighting for a place in the final.\n\nWhat direction will women&#8217;s rugby take?\n\nThe tournament has demonstrated the potential of the sport and what can be achieved when a country takes the tournament seriously. Now large-scale investment is needed to ensure that all teams improve. England, being the best-funded team, has proven its worth, and now other teams must catch up.\n\nThis requires commercial support, more frequent competitive matches, and investment from the grassroots. The PWR is the best competition in the world, but it&#8217;s not enough. The British &amp; Irish Lions tour is expected to maintain the interest of casual fans. It&#8217;s time to build.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a3.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0929%2Fr1552894_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Fue una tarde casi perfecta en Twickenham cuando Inglaterra venci\u00f3 a Canad\u00e1 frente a una multitud r\u00e9cord\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>It was an almost perfect afternoon at Twickenham as England defeated Canada in front of a record crowd.<\/em>\n\nIt is crucial that the lessons of women&#8217;s soccer are followed and interest is maintained. Authorities must facilitate access for fans. Unions must invest in women&#8217;s programs to achieve results. This is a crucial moment for the sport, but it needs follow-up.\n\nThe nations of origin, as well as New Zealand and Australia, which already have infrastructure and a solid base for their women&#8217;s teams, run the risk of the gap with England widening if they do not invest in national programs and their respective competitions.\n\nWhat will happen in 2029?\n\nIt&#8217;s hard to imagine anything other than a &#8220;Red Roses&#8221; victory. The age of most of their key players suggests they will be in good shape in four years, and they have the infrastructure to maintain their dominance. Other nations are expected to compete. Canada, despite its limited budget, performed amazingly, and with more investment, they will thrive.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/a1.espncdn.com\/combiner\/i?img=%2Fphoto%2F2025%2F0901%2Fr1539496_1296x729_16%2D9.jpg\" alt=\"Black Fern Braxton Sorensen-McGee fue una estrella revelaci\u00f3n del torneo\" title=\"\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<em>Black Fern Braxton Sorensen-McGee was a breakout star of the tournament.<\/em>\n\nAustralia will seek to stand out as the host, and France and other teams will continue to compete. The World Cup is expected to be even bigger in Australia, and interest is expected to continue to grow over the next four years. But, for now, the &#8220;Red Roses&#8221; are the favorites.\n\nThe 2025 tournament was a success thanks to England&#8217;s success. Winning the tournament was the icing on the cake, but it came after years of building and victories.\n\nNow, Australia must assume its important role on and off the field in four years. They desperately need the support of the Australian public, which is achieved by winning. They also need as many home games as possible and to build their fan base.\n\nIn the field, they will soon seek to repeat the success. With the current situation, it cannot be ruled out.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025 Women&#8217;s Rugby World Cup has come to an end, and with it, the consecration of England.
