England’s heartache at the Women’s Rugby World Cup three years ago has made them ready for the final against Canada on Saturday, says the hooker Lark Atkin-Davies. The Bristol Bears star came off the bench in the 34-31 final defeat against New Zealand at Eden Park in 2022, but says England are a “very different” team this time around. “For me it was a weird one because I hadn’t played much in that World Cup,” Kabeya, who also came off the bench in the last final, said. Looking back, there are a lot of girls who have a lot of feelings about that final. View image in fullscreen Sarah Hunter (left) was England captain in 2022 and now works as a defence coach.
