England ready to confront USA and Ilona Maher’s stardust in World Cup opener
The upcoming 2025 Rugby World Cup will see England's Red Roses, the world's No. 1 team, face off against the USA in their opening match. While the USA have only won once against England in their 21 previous encounters, the 1991 World Cup final, the Red Roses remain focused on the task at hand. England boasts an impressive unbeaten run of 27 matches, having won all 7 of their matches in 2023. In contrast, the USA have played 6 games this year, winning only one against Fiji. Despite the disparity in recent performances, the Red Roses are not getting caught up in the hype of a home tournament and are ready to confront the challenge posed by the USA and the stardust of Ilona Maher. The highly anticipated women's rugby tournament is set to kick off on Friday, with the Red Roses determined to maintain their dominance and secure a victory in their opening match.
