Women’s Rugby World Cup final: England v Canada
Venue: Allianz Stadium, Twickenham Date: Saturday, 27 September Kick-off: 16:00 BST
Coverage: Live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website and app
England might seem clear favourites to beat Canada in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final on Saturday, but it is far from a foregone conclusion.
The Red Roses are the world’s number one ranked team and unbeaten in 32 matches, but the Maple Leafs are just behind at world number two and unbeaten this year.
England need to beware – Canada schooled defending champions New Zealand 34-19 in the semi-finals having led 24-7 at half-time.
And the last time they faced the Red Roses in 2024, although they ended up losing 21-12 they had more of the ball, more of the territory and were arguably the better side.
Canada, whose team launched a crowdfunding campaign before the World Cup, are not as big an underdog as you might think.
