| The BIGGEST RWC Final in Women’s Rugby History | 25 Sep 2025 | 00:46:13 | |
Ohhh my word… we’ve made it! After two SENSATIONAL semi-finals (and yes, Sara’s voice still hasn’t fully recovered 🙃), we’re here to preview the BIG one: the Rugby World Cup 2025 Final.
England. Canada. Two unbeaten sides. Two very different styles. One trophy on the line.
We’re breaking it all down – from Canada’s offloading, high-tempo chaos to the Roses’ set-piece dominance and Zoe Harrison’s metronome boot. Can anyone stop England’s rolling maul? Can Canada’s lightning ruck speed flip the script? And what about the nerves – Red Roses in their SEVENTH straight final vs Canada’s first since 2014. Pressure or freedom?
We’ll also chat individual match-winners (Ellie K, Sophie de Goede, Megan Jones, Julia Schell 👀), pick our Emirates High Flyer of the Week, catch up on the PWR Cup, and shout out the legends at every level of the game – from Rocky Clark and the Golden Girls cycling 750 miles for MND, to grassroots sides smashing their first ever wins.
So settle in, because next week we’ll know who are the new Queens of the rugby world. Will it be the Red Roses or the Maple Leafs? We can’t wait. YEEE-HAW 🤠🏉✨
