CAPTAIN HAILS SIDE'S BELIEF AS ENGLAND END WORLD CUP WAIT

ZOE Aldcroft insisted her England team had taken their place among the greats after winning the World Cup by dispatching Canada 33-13.

A dismal record of just one win in six successive final appearances weighed heavily on the Red Roses, but at Allianz Stadium they rose to the occasion magnificently in front of a record crowd for a women's game of 81,885.

It registered a record-extending 33rd successive victory and, crucially, England saved their best performance of the tournament for when it mattered most.
