England's Red Roses won the Women's Rugby World Cup on Saturday (27 September), beating Canada 33-13 at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium.

Saturday saw the largest ever crowd for a women's rugby fixture, with 81,885 rugby fans from all over filling out the stadium.

This was the team's first World Cup win in 11 years and scores were tried by Ellie Kildunne, hooker Amy Cokayne, No 8 Alex Matthews (two) and lock Abbie Ward.

To kick things off, female guitarist Sophie Lloyd warmed up the crowd with her own version of Bon Jovi's 'Living on a Prayer'.

About the match, Sky News reports: "Three times Canada were camped on the England try-line on the verge of tries - once in the first half, twice in the second half - and the Red Roses conjured big turnovers or stops.

"Zoe Harrison pinched a remarkable turnover in the opening period to deny Canada a certain seven points, while the heat England were under with Hannah Botterman in the sin-bin looked almost certain to see Canada narrow the gap to just six points when 26-13 behind. England's 14 dug in and survived. Mitchell's side consistently won out at massive moments.

"There were others too. Twice Ward stole Canada lineouts in the 22 to deny them, wrestling momentum back the hosts' way.

"In attack, the Red Roses were clinical, ruthless and lethal. While Canada passed up chances, England almost always struck. On such form, they were never going to lose."

Speaking about the match, one woman who travelled to Twickenham from Liverpool told Nub News: "It was the most amazing atmosphere, and it was a wonderful day out.

"It was great to be part of a record-breaking audience, and I hope it encourages more girls to take up rugby."
