That epic undefeated streak is now over. After going 41 matches without defeat – a record that stretches back to 2022. Women’s Rugby World Cup final – The Red Roses lost to Canada in Toronto last weekend in a 24-21 thriller. The Canadians drew 26-26 in Exeter last month, and now they have gone one better at home. The question is whether the team that forgot how to lose can come back in today’s rematch?
“This week we want to get back to who we are,” said the Red Roses head coach John Mitchell. “Hungry, accountable to each other and demanding more of ourselves than anyone outside of this group ever could.”
Mitchell made four changes to the XV, the most notable being the former World Player of the Year Ellie Kildunne drops to the bench, and is replaced by Emma Singh at full back. Other newcomers to the starting line-up are Mia Venner (wing), Helena Rowland (centre) and Sadia Kabeya (back row).
Mitchell’s counterpart, Kevin Rouet, is not resting on his laurels after last week’s stunning victory. Taylor Perry returns at half-time, while Shoshanah Seumanutafa (who scored a try in Toronto) gets a header in the middle. Gabrielle Senft was also promoted from the bench to start on the blind side.
