Written by Mere Moto on November 8, 2023
England women’s 15s rugby team the “Red Roses” were crowned the inaugural WXV 1 champions following a thrilling final against hosts New Zealand, Mt Smart Stadium in Auckland.
The Red Roses scored five tries to beat hosts New Zealand 33-12 and avenge their Women’s Rugby World Cup 2021 final defeat against the “Black Ferns”.+
The result also meant Canada finished second and Australia third after they both picked up excellent final round wins.
Canada were grateful to a late Fancy Bermudez try as they secured a hard-fought 29-20 victory against France.
