Women’s Rugby World Cup: Final predictions – will England or Canada win?

Alphonsi: “England will win, but it will be close. I will say with two points.”

Merchant: “England is winning. For a long time, raids. They were performing incredible performances last year and everything was clicked.

“While watching the WXV tournament, there was no single team in the world to defeat them in the form. You saw that teams show this World Cup more like Canada – you’ll worry so much.”

Orchard: “It will be ugly by Hook or Crook, but Britain will scrape themselves on the line.

“John Mitchell has a UK team for a series of campaigns. This is also a coach as a fifth World Cup – Four has different male sides.

“On this occasion, it is hired to help managing, and if they finally come out with a trophy, questions should be asked about a major review and approach.

“RFU (Rugby Football Association) The amount of money pumped on women’s rugy – they need to win a World Cup.”

McKenzie: “Canada. We are aware of the speed and intensity of Canada and they will start strongly as they do during the tournament.

“England did not start quickly. This will tell the first 20 minutes, but the back will be the most effective.”

Morye: “This will be an open game. When I was 50-50 years old, I must say that Red Roses won as an Englishman.”

Thomas: “Canada. They have played a much better rugby than the UK for the last five weeks, and I think Kevin Rouet has such a grounded coaches and a strong connection.

“I was convinced by Canada and I wasn’t by England.”
