August 24, 2025

Tournament hosts and favourites England launched the Women’s Rugby World Cup on Friday with a crushing 69-7 win over the United States in Sunderland.

The Red Roses, the world’s top-ranked side, ran in 11 tries against a gutsy but outclassed Eagles team, with Ellie Kildunne, the reigning world player of the year, Jess Breach and replacement forward Lark Atkin-Davies all scoring two apiece.

Victory meant England, the world’s top-ranked side, have lost only once in their past 59 matches — a defeat by coach John Mitchell's native New Zealandinthe Covid-19 delayed 2022World Cupfinal.

Beaten in five of the past six World Cup finals by New Zealand, England are under huge pressure to win the showpiece tournament for the first time since 2014.
