England and Canada begin the WXV Global Series with dominant opening wins, setting up a rematch of last year’s Women’s Rugby World Cup final. Canada defeats Scotland 64-26 in Edinburgh. England wins in parallel and moves into the next round following its own comprehensive start.
The results set the stage for England to host Canada next Saturday in Exeter. It is their first meeting since the Women’s Rugby World Cup final at Twickenham a year ago, when England won 33-13. Coverage emphasizes the size of both teams’ victories and the storyline of a return matchup between the two finalists, though it mainly focuses on match outcomes and next fixtures rather than deeper tactical or disciplinary angles.
