Roses are ready for RU final showdown

celebrates scoring England's second try during the semi-final against France last Saturday

(PAUL HARDING/GETTY)

Twickenham will be at capacity to watch the Red Roses take on Canada with the 82,000 attendance surpassing the 58,498 who were present for the Six Nations match against France in 2023.

Apart from the size of the occasion, England must also contend with the baggage of a dismal record in World Cup finals that has produced just one victory in six consecutive appearances.

Cokayne, however, insists the tournament favourites believe their time has come.

She said: “For me, the bigger the crowd the better. I have no doubt we will rise to the occasion. I'm really buzzing that the stadium is going to be full.
