"We have so much belief in this group, we have built something so special over the last three years and today was about sticking to our processes and believing in ourselves. Everyone just had to do their own job and I think that is what everyone did today. I am just so proud of every single one of those girls."
"Zoe Aldcroft, the England captain, said winning the Rugby World Cup was what dreams are made of and that winning 33 matches in a row made the case that the Red Roses team were the greatest in women's rugby history. Aldcroft led England to a 33-13 win against Canada at a sold-out Twickenham to cap off a dominant few years. Their last loss came against New Zealand in the 2022 Rugby World Cup final, which ended a previous unbeaten run of 30 games."
England, led by captain Zoe Aldcroft, secured a Rugby World Cup victory with a 33-13 win over Canada at a sold-out Twickenham. The team completed a 33-match winning run, capping a dominant period after a prior defeat to New Zealand in the 2022 final that ended a 30-game unbeaten streak. Aldcroft expressed deep pride in the squad's belief, processes and collective contributions, and highlighted the 82,000-strong crowd as a chance to redefine and inspire girls in the sport. John Mitchell, appointed head coach in 2023, described the triumph as among his best coaching achievements.
