Womens RWC 2025

There was an England attacking advantage there.

Unlike the ref for the Semi Final, Hollie Davidson is prepared to penalise the Canadians.

@sparky said in Womens RWC 2025:

Terrible Canadian defence and the English fullback waltzes through.

Or alternatively she leaves them standing like statues

[sparky]

Illegal Canadian steal, not realising.

A penalty to England the right call.

Why didn't we have this ref for the Semi Final?

Sigh!

[sparky]

Canada looking to open it up, but handling errors letting them down.

England are more patient and will slowly turn the screw I suspect.

[sparky]

England's line speed in defence and dominant scrum and Hollie Davidson's rigorous officiating is putting Canada under much more pressure than last week.

[sparky]

5 metre line out to England. Drive.

England have their second try. Cocaine scored. 12-7 to the hosts.

[sparky]

Conversion over. 14-5.

The hosts are going to win this at a canter.

[sparky]

England's defence is magnificent. No way through for their opponents.

[sparky]

Great defence wins you Rugby World Cups.

[sparky]

TMO review. Didn't look to me like England scored.

[sparky]

No try. But England have a 5m scrum.

[sparky]

Arguably that should have been a penalty try. Hollie D awards a penalty, but I think she slightly bottled that one.

[sparky]

England utterly dominant.

[sparky]

Matthews scores England third try. England scrum grounding Canada into the Twickenham turf.

[sparky]

21-5 to England after 27 minutes.

This could be a long afternoon for Canada and the most one-sided RWC final of all time.

[sparky]

Nice attack by Canada. 10 metres from the line.

[sparky]

Canada chose to kick a penalty.

21-8 to the hosts after 34 minutes.

[Bones]

What the hell is with the pantomime theatrics by the ref?

[sparky]

England have their fourth. Cocaine is addicted to scoring.

[sparky]

It's going to the TMO.
