Mismatches will not halt Women’s Rugby World Cup momentum, insist organisers

The Women's Rugby World Cup organisers have dismissed concerns over the high number of mismatches in the opening fixtures. Despite some one-sided results, such as England's 69-7 victory over the United States, the tournament has drawn significant attention, with over 85,000 spectators attending the first eight group games. The organisers have urged fans to "watch and wait" as the "arm wrestles will come" in the later stages of the competition. The opening week has been described as "electric", with England's match attracting a peak TV audience of 2.4 million and France's 24-0 win over Italy breaking records with 3.2 million viewers in France. The organisers are confident that the momentum of the tournament will not be halted by the early mismatches.
