There will be an event in Battersea near the River Thames, rather than a parade such as the ones that followed the men’s Rugby World Cup win in 2003 and the 2012 London Olympics. The event hosts, England Rugby, thanked the UK Government, The National Lottery and O2 for their support in staging the celebration. Bill Sweeney, Rugby Football Union CEO said: “We are so proud of our world champion Red Roses for their historic win in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final. “To achieve this in England and at Allianz Stadium, the home of England Rugby, makes this victory even more rewarding. “We can’t thank fans, across the country, enough for their support of the Red Roses during the tournament – it’s been phenomenal.
