❤️️🌹The moment England's Rugby World Cup victory was confirmed at Twickenham.#BBCRugby pic.twitter.com/sppBctO7Mu — BBC Sport (@BBCSport) September 27, 2025Canada had the opening try, through wing Asia Hogan-Rochester after four minutes. But England hit their stride with a weaving try by full-back Kildunne, who beat flanker Karen Paquin’s tackle then sidestepped past two more defenders. The England scrum was dominant, shoving the Maple Leafs backwards, and the Red Roses’ jackalling at the breakdown was quick and well-rehearsed, epitomised led by the prop Hannah Botterman, who is one of the team’s crowd favourites. There were 440,000 tickets sold, and half of the spectators were attending their first matches of women’s rugby. Or were simply here for a fun ride in the confident expectation of England success?
