England’s Dominant Win Sets Stage for Home Women’s Rugby World Cup

England’s dominant 88-10 victory over Ireland at Twickenham has sparked excitement and optimism about the potential for a packed stadium at next year’s Women’s Rugby World Cup. With a record-breaking crowd of 48,778 in attendance, the Red Roses put on a show that left fans and former players buzzing with excitement.

Under the guidance of head coach John Mitchell, England’s attacking style of play has evolved into a free-flowing, entertaining spectacle. The team’s performance against Ireland, highlighted by winger Abby Dow and full-back Ellie Kildunne’s hat-tricks, showcased the team’s ability to combine skill and flair in a way that captivated the audience.

Kildunne, in particular, has emerged as a standout player, earning praise from former England captain Maggie Alphonsi as a “rockstar” whose dynamic play style has the potential to fill stadiums. With nine tries in four games and a growing reputation as a game-changer, Kildunne’s impact on the team’s success and fan engagement is undeniable.

The atmosphere at Twickenham was further enhanced by a halftime performance from singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, adding to the party atmosphere and family-friendly environment. The combination of on-field success and off-field entertainment has helped to build a loyal fanbase for the Red Roses, setting the stage for even bigger crowds in the future.

As England looks ahead to the Women’s Rugby World Cup next year, the team’s focus remains on continuing their winning streak and building towards filling Twickenham on a consistent basis. With a potential Grand Slam on the line against France, the Red Roses are determined to maintain their momentum and showcase their talent on the world stage.
