The Red Roses celebrated their Rugby World Cup win at London’s Battersea Power Station on Sunday after outclassing Canada 33-13 in front of a record crowd at Twickenham on Saturday.
The clearcut victory by five tries to two capped an astonishing World Cup cycle in which England won every match, 33 in a row, the greatest streak in international rugby.
The prospect of a home tournament topped by a home champion sold out Twickenham five weeks ago, and 81,885 spectators, the largest crowd in women’s rugby history, were treated to a showcase of England’s unstoppable power.
