England keep faith with matchday 23 for Rugby World Cup final against Canada
England's women's rugby team will face Canada in the Rugby World Cup final on Saturday at Twickenham, with head coach John Mitchell keeping the same 23-player squad that defeated France in the semi-finals. This is the first time during the World Cup that Mitchell has not made any changes to the team. Captain Zoe Aldcroft has expressed the team's determination to win the final on home soil, having lost the last two World Cup finals to New Zealand. The decision to retain the same squad means that Jess Breach, the team's top try-scorer with six tries, and Meg Jones, a nominee for World Rugby player of the year, will start every game of the World Cup for England. The match-day squad's continuity and the team's home advantage suggest that England is well-positioned to claim the Rugby World Cup title for the first time since 2014.
