England to face Canada in final in front of record crowd
‘It is just the most special thing for women’s rugby’
The Rugby World Cup final at a sold-out Twickenham will be a special moment for women’s rugby, said the England captain, Zoe Aldcroft, after her team sealed a date with Canada in next Saturday’s showpiece with a 35-17 win over France.
The Red Roses were put under pressure by France but they remained patient and came through with the full-back Ellie Kildunne scoring two of the five tries scored.
It has set up a final against Canada at the home of English rugby where a new world record for a women’s rugby match attendance is to be set. The record currently stands at 58,498, set at Twickenham in 2023 for a Six Nations match between England and France.
