Megan makes the case for Roses defence
The Chronicle
|September 22, 2025
RUGBY UNION Ellie Kildunne may have provided the magic as England dispatched France to reach the World Cup final but Megan Jones insists defence will be the most effective weapon against Canada.
-
Kildunne produced two electrifying finishes in the 35-17 semifinal victory but it was without the ball that the Red Roses truly excelled, defying a French onslaught by making 200 tackles compared to their opponents’ 88.
Canada's stunning upset of New Zealand has setup an intriguing main event at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, but Jones says they will face a defence that has been energised by limiting Les Bleues to three tries.
