Canadian women push top-ranked England to the limit in Rugby World Cup semifinal
“I’m just proud of the girls for the work they did,” said Canada coach Kevin Rouet. “I’m just disappointed by the result, for sure. I thought we deserved more than that.”The win extended England’s winning streak to 30 matches, which dates back to a 28-12 loss to New Zealand in July 2019. The Red Roses will meet the defending champion Black Ferns in Saturday’s championship game at Eden Park.Second-ranked New Zealand and France put on their own show after the Canada game.
England, after resolutely defending a prolonged Canadian attack deep in its own half, won the ball back and went on the attack. Instead of kicking to safety, wing Claudia MacDonald elected to run out from behind her try-line. After cutting through the Canadian defence, she passed to Abby Dow who accelerated past the last line of defence for a highlight-reel try — her second of the day — and 23-12 lead.
“Canada were fantastic … challenged us in every area of the game,” added England coach Simon Middleton. The Canadians resorted to a GoFundMe page to help pay for an unofficial centralization ahead of the World Cup. Rouet stuck with the same starting 15 that beat the seventh-ranked Americans 32-11 in last weekend’s quarterfinal.
