Description

Sara Orchard, Claire Thomas, 2014 World Cup winner Kat Merchant and former Wales captain Philippa Tuttiett react to England winning their third World Cup, beating Canada 33-13 at the home of English rugby. A record crowd for women's rugby of 81,885 watched the Red Roses see off the Canadians at the Allianz Stadium, with Ellie Kildunne starring once again.

Hear from Natasha Hunt and one of the try scorers Abbie Ward, plus Ellie Kildunne and Meg Jones. England have now extended their record winning run to 33 games.

The team talk the relentlessness of England’s defence, which Kat believes won them the game. Kat and Philippa also give their opinion on Hannah Botterman’s yellow card and how it should have potentially gone to the bunker. Plus everyone gives their thoughts on John Mitchell and what the future could hold for the head coach.
