Canada end England's 41-match unbeaten streak with first defeat in four years

Canada ended England’s 41-match unbeaten run with a first defeat in four years, winning 24-21 and halting the Red Roses’ historic stretch. The result came after Canada had already stopped England’s 39-game winning streak with a 26-26 draw in Exeter last month. Revenge was also tied to last year’s World Cup final at Twickenham, where England had won; this time, Shoshanah Seumanutafa—coming off the bench—scored the match-winning try in the 77th minute. England, unbeaten since their 2022 World Cup final loss to New Zealand, will face Canada again next Saturday in Ottawa. The crowd of 18,621 set a North America women’s rugby record.
