@@csjrogerson2377 I understand that. Canada are ranked No. 2 in the world now from the comments I have been reading, Canadians are saying they had no idea the tournament was on in their city. There was no promotion at all.
@@petrolhead1960 It is the job of the selectors to ensure that the hosts are capable of meeting ALL of the requirements and that includes promotion. Rugby Canada should have been all over this like a rash. Looks like someone has dropped the ball. Knock-on, scrum down.
Has to be said, New Zealand "couldn't" be bothered either. The crowds are pathetic. Give it to England, as after the WC, as it was given to New Zealand, maybe the same, maybe better, no idea but if the same, scrap the tournie, or re-think it. Sending WXV 2 and 3 to the samr place is not helping and maybe send WXV1 to a developing country, like Italy, or spain, or holland, maybe a joint tournie, but something has to change.
@@aaeeturner I wasn't talking about the Red Roses. I was specifically talking about the Black Ferns. England has a great team. That is not debatable. They can probably field two teams and they will beat most of the top sides. I know how the Black Ferns can play. They have some very talented players but they seem to go backwards under this coaching team. Their defence is atrocious. Their handling skills the same. That is terrible for a professional team. Even Ruby Tui who is an exceptional player have lost her spark since she left the 7s program. It will be the greatest miracle if they can turn things around before the world cup. Fingers crossed but I haven't seen anything that'll convince me otherwise.
Superb play by the England backs. Real skill and real entertainment like Rugby used to be. Keep it up. You so deserved that victory.. From a Welshman 🏴
Maybe I'm seeing something different from everyone else, or maybe Harrison has an injury. England don't have a kicker as good as her and Aitchison seemed to make a lot of mistakes which were the root cause of quite a few Black Fern scores in this game yet stayed on. The England coaches have a very good squad to choose from but there is something not quite right here ??
I agree that ZH is a much better kicker and her distribution is on a par with HA. 9 tries scored and only 2 converted. It was a very different story in the USA game in which ZH started at 10. HA could be brought on as a ‘finisher’.
What a complete faff on just to try and find the time of the match and where to watch it on TV. I was googling away and results were coming up with matches played years ago and repeatedly having to look on the BBC iplayer because the match itself only popped up for selection very late on. I would guess a lot of people would have given up? The players deserve better than this.
The BBC iplayer has all the XV1 games and the other leagues involving the home countries. I'm reluctant to watch it on the BBC, because I loathe the BBC.
Been watching all the games on iplayer, once I realised the tournements had even started??? Think the promotion has been very poor as has the games being visible on iplayer, like minutes before the kick off. Crowds at both the WXV1 and WXV2 seem very poor and why the ENG vs NZ match did not get onto one of the main BBC channels I don't know and several of the others come to that. Thought the IRE vs NZ game was brilliant. Think the women's rugby is great and the players are all a credit to their countries. Players and fans deserve much better, as the fans will show when they turn out for the six nations and world cup. Some of those games would have filled stadiums over here.
Women's rugby is so good, so good to watch. so entertaining! As a Kiwi traitor to the All Blacks, I'd far rather watch the Black Ferns play as the women seem to better embody what the sport of rugby union is all about, the same skills, the same determination but the smiles and fun too in playing the sport they love. Win or lose, what a great game, what a great day!
As a NZ rugby fan there are only so many hidings I can take as a fan. The Abs admittedly have been struggling but they were only a few points adrift against the best team in the world the Boks. There is however a gulf in class between NZ and the best side England at the moment. So many unforced errors and poor tactical decisions makes for a hard watch. In the end if the team keeps losing they will lose all the good work built up by the RWC and fans will find other things to watch. That's just professional sport . No one is entitled to a paying audience
@@MrAhuapai I agree, to hear the Ferns talk about "revenge" you wonder if their egos are bigger than their game. They need more self-criticism, less sensitivity to hard-nosed coaches who tell them where they need to improve , e.g. fitness, kicking skills. I do wonder if we actually have the coaching skills in NZ, we seem to be falling behind in coaching creativity, they just seem slow in addressing deficiencies.
It was a great match! New Zealand have improved a lot since the last meeting, and showed some great skill. Awesome to see Breach finally get some good recognition for her next-level work-rate (she was everywhere!), plus of course 3 tidy tries and 2 try-assists. She really does need to work on her defense tho, missed a few crucial tackles but overall a great performance from the speedster. Aitchison certainly didn't have the best of games, but we know from her previous form (especially in last year's WXV) that she is ordinarily a world-class player... seems to me that something has knocked her confidence? Hopefully she gets it back soon!
I thought Breach should have got player of the match. Although she missed a couple of tackles she also tracked back to make some critical ones; fantastic work rate.
@@DavidCESmith Breach has recently become quite the unsung hero of the Red Roses I think! Especially with both Kildunne and Dow scoring so many superb individual scores, many of which Breach was involved in setting up, her work rate seems overlooked by the fans… definitely not by the coaching staff tho! Having watched the game back, I withdraw my comment about Aitchison who actually put in a solid performance.
Why does World Rugby geo-block countries from watching these highlights? Full of words about promoting the game, but restricting access to clips like this? Fortunately, I had my VPN on when looking for the highlights; without that, I wouldn't even know this clip exists.
England women are on a completely different level to all the other teams in women’s rugby. I mean New Zealand are Englands closest rivals yet still get beat pretty heavily.
England are the best in the world and have been for a while -- but that doesn't take away from the fact of New Zealand's Black Ferns having led the way & held the torch for women's rugby. We want as many competitive teams as possible, to make things interesting.
Nowhere near the men, but they do move the ball well across the field. They handily thinned the New Zealand defence and made many Kiwi players look ordinary.
That is 3 on the trot wins against the Fearns who are World Champions. And 19 wins on the trot against all comers. Sad to see that UK newspapers never even mentioned the match.
@@speleokeir I deliberately said newspapers as the BBC do report women's rugby. But I did read 4 newspapers at my favourite coffee shop this morning. Never got to The Guardian so I stand corrected 👍
Some real quality handling and support running from the English backline. Hours of training paying off against an obdurate and very physical Black ferns side. Best game of the tournament so far. As an aside, the lack of promotion of a world level tournament and the subsequent poor attendance of the Canadian public should certainly lead to someone losing their job. Here are a collection of professional athletes being administered by rank amateurs.
Such a shame that the stadiums were almost empty. These women regardless of what nation they are from deserves much better. Wonder how many will turn up for Canada V Red Roses ?
That second Abby Dow try is pure class...I ain't the biggest fan of women's rugby but there's no rugby fan that could miss the exceptional skill execution of that backline to get it down the line
What strikes me is England are the best passing side in women's rugby. That's true both for quick hands short passing, and also those 10m+ passes out in front with some zip and accuracy, both being on show in this game. I think it's what allows them to outflank and stretch defences, and if I were a coach in women's rugby that's the thing I'd most be trying to emulate.
Sparkling rugby from England, what a contrast from last year. It shows what can happen under a positive coach. We've seen it in football, now that Gareth Southgate has gone.
👍👍 This is a much better title for the video than previous video-titles which were spoilers, giving away the winner. Well done person who comes up with the "World Rugby Women" video titles. Best Wishes. ☮
Final pass for the first England try was miles forward. England also missed 14 pts from conversion so New Zealand could have conceded 64 points in total
Questions have to be asked about this. World Rugby is trying to lead the way in making Rugby Union equal. In 2021 made it clear that the RWC in both XV and VII would be gender equal especially in name, it’s know as the RWC. In 2023 the SVNS series is now fully gender equal including pay. Going back to the XV game. On the men’s side The All Blacks and The Springboks are the best with 7 RWC titles between them. On the women’s side The Black Ferns and The Red Roses are the best and have 8 RWC titles between them. So just scratching my head trying to understand why the two of the four best teams in all of World Rugby are playing a test in a field in a country that clearly can’t be bothered about Rugby, when just weeks ago when they played in front of 60,000 people at Twickenham with a professional broadcast. Not to mention the World Cup Final which sold out Eden Park. We also just witnessed 200,000 people pack out the Stad de France (70,000 every day for 3 days) to watch the the women’s tournament for Rugby at the Olympics.
England's last two games at Twickenham have a combined total of over 100,000 spectators. The organisation in Canada has been embarrassing and unprofessional. Zero promotion and almost zero people watching. Sack the Canadian promoters and in future choose the locations wisely.
I agree with this and other similar posts but Rugby just isn't as big a game generally in that part of the world as it is in Europe and Oceania and it's a long way for fans to travel. Plus, it's being played during school term, so can't even be considered as part of a family holiday for the nations taking part.
49 wins out of their last 50. The only defeat sadly being in the WC final when they were down to 14 players for most of the game and still nearly won. Head and shoulders above everyone else, but it's good to see other teams also upping their game and things getting more competitive behind England with Canada doing really well, Ireland beating the Black Ferns, France playing well etc. Hopefully more women's teams will become fully professional to keep matches competitive.
I cant remember when England looked so good and NZ looked so average, well done to the Roses, to our Ferns,,, heads up we still love you and your still our pride and joy, your mana will return
Absolutely fabulous match, high standard Rugby from both sides, these Ladies deserve so much better attendance. The that fact that the World's number two side is hosting this tournament and the Stadium is empty is a disgrace, World Rugby need to take a close look and hold the Canadian RU body accountable. If England can get 42, 000 to Twickenham for the same match up less than a month ago then Canada need to aim for the same.
The attendance for a game between 2 top class teams was a disgrace. In other locations there would be far greater crowds. Should the Canadians want to promote rugby playing in front of so few makes the game look amateurish. Why not promote the game by giving away tickets to schools. Crowd bigger more noise and gives youngsters a chance to see the game played at its best
More fluid only vos they're aren't as good or precise. Like that in most sports. Ladies struggle to kick ball out to touch on demand, and the collisions will never compare hence less attrition and more fluidity. They're are completely different games.
As a life-long lover of the men's game I have to agree with the entertaining part. Men's game is a game of such marginal gains nowadays that teams are willing to play very boringly in order to get ahead. Still think there's a lot more skill in the average men'splayer, but because of the nature of the men's game they hardly ever get to show it. This England women's team just puts on a clinic every game. As an England fan it's so good to watch.
England looked great in the open but their pure power is way ahead. The only real concern is that the hits in the womens game are getting bigger and bigger. Was kinda hoping overall the the womens game would go slightly different than the men's considering how it has developed in the last 5 or so years. What i mean by this is the women's 7's at the Olympics was super. Was hoping the game in general would move to a more open game rather than power based.
NZ need to sort some of the tackling and is there a bit of a shortage of pace or fitness when in support of a near runaway? But as always great game to watch. No fan at all of this playing outside of the competing nations.
Why does the southern hemisphere consistently have to come up with new names for everything in rugby? The latest one I’ve been hearing is “fend” instead of “hand off”.
NZ are well off the pace. Have great individuals.. but aren't exposed to tough pro rugby enough. Maybe a few could play club in the north to get match hardend.
I wonder if New Zealand has ever experienced such a low point in its rugby history. Both the men’s and women’s teams are suffering significant defeats. It’s disheartening to see such a proud rugby nation struggle like this. The decline seems to stem mainly from an aging team (especially the men’s), a lack of speed (the line is practically walking), and poor coaching. On November 2nd, England is likely to deliver another heavy defeat, followed by humiliating losses to Ireland and France on November 9th and 17th, respectively. Perhaps it would be wise for the teams to consider a temporary hiatus from rugby until they can sort out the fundamentals and restore their reputation.
The factors affecting men's and women's rugby appear to be quite different > the ABs are not an aging team comparatively. The average age this year was 27 in the RWC 2015 win the average age was 29. The major factor is that the All blacks do not simply have the caliber of individuals they have had previously. Only 2 ABs would be considered World XV material Savea and Jordan. In 2015 they would of had 7 or eight players [possibly the best in the world. England have been far and away the best for years now. The RWC was an aberration as NZ had everything go their way including a red card. The biggest impact for the BFs would be If the women's kicking game was to improve. Currently they struggle to exit efficiently . The halves are very slow in delivery. Maia Joseph takes forever to clear the ruck.
Rugby although is still held in high regard in NZ the number of registered players both in club, provincial,and super rugby have dropped considerably in the last few years. It also had something to do with the kind of competition we have down here. NZ only have Australia to compete with and given how Australia rugby is not as strong as it used to it's hardly a surprise to see the standard dropped. There are more registered football and basketball players compared to rugby. The lure of other sports such as rugby league, rowing, sailing, kayaking, cricket, motor sports, as well as winter sports have all contributed.
Great match from England especially the back three. However, Vahaakolo, Tui and Holmes missed straight up one on one tackles and charged down kicks for five of those (soft) tries. Terrible defending
England played well but still conceded some soft tries from NZ in the second half, just like they did against France in previous meetings. More work is required to be truly ruthless.
And . . . three of the NZ turnovers were illegal - no clear release by the tackler. No 6 lying all over the ruck. Players on the wrong side. It happens. Swings and roundabouts.
Yes ) but it’s like the football and the cricket ,they steamroller teams in friendlies and minor tournaments only to screw it up when it matters .England lost to NZ in the World Cup final,it’s their only loss in the last 9 against them.
The fitness levels of these women athletes has come on so much over the last 10-15 years. So good to see the English women's team gaining the reputation they deserve for all their hard work. It will take some awesome team to beat this current side, they are so strong in all areas.
England were denied the world cup last time by a crap ref who should have given England a penalty try in the last few minutes but chickened-out. It will not happen again next time, the Red Roses will triumph.
If the Roses had a goal kicker it would have been all over at half time. Why is Holly preferred over Harrison ? She is weak in defence and can't run apart from that little gripe the Roses are the best. The World champions beat a Roses side that played with 14 players after 20 minutes !!just saying
Holly didn't take any of the kicks, Rowland, Harrison and Scarratt did. The fact that most of them were from the touchline might explain the success rate.
In fairness I would be a shade worried if I was in the NZ camp, I mean 21 of their points resulted from England mistakes and interceptions, in fairness they spotted the slight weakness in tackling through the Scrum half Stand off defensive area? Alot of their offensive breaks came through that section?
I agree that ZH is a much better kicker from hand and off the tee. Her distribution is very similar to HA, so I would start her at 10 especially as England tend to score many of their points in the first half. Of the 9 tries scored only two were converted. A very different ratio to the USA match where ZH was kicking.
The kicking in womans game isn't that great as a whole but even the best womans kicker would've struggled to hit most of those. Alot of the tries were down the wing so high percentage of the conversion kicks were high tarrif. But i do agree if they were made in the first half the scoreline would've looked a whole lot worse for NZ and it would've gave them zero hope of a come back.
If Canada can’t be bothered to promote the series, why bother? These ladies are superb athletes and all the matches have been cracking yet nobody’s bothered to turn up. A disgrace and a disservice to the women. Great game, ladies!

Canada are the second best team in the world at the moment is the only response I can make
You can't have every tournament in England and France.
However agree hosts could have done more.
England's back three scored more points than NZ's entire 23.
England's last two games at Twickenham have a combined total of over 100,000 spectators. The organisation in Canada has been embarrassing and unprofessional. Zero promotion and almost zero people watching. Sack the Canadian promoters and in future choose the locations wisely.
Why these completions should be in UK, France or New Zealand
And Canada is building a formidable team, that deserves a Canadian audience.

49 wins out of their last 50. The only defeat sadly being in the WC final when they were down to 14 players for most of the game and still nearly won.
Head and shoulders above everyone else, but it's good to see other teams also upping their game and things getting more competitive behind England with Canada doing really well, Ireland beating the Black Ferns, France playing well etc.
Hopefully more women's teams will become fully professional to keep matches competitive.
Canada Women's Rugby is Nothing WITHOUT the FANS .
I cant remember when England looked so good and NZ looked so average, well done to the Roses, to our Ferns,,, heads up we still love you and your still our pride and joy, your mana will return
Absolutely fabulous match, high standard Rugby from both sides, these Ladies deserve so much better attendance. The that fact that the World's number two side is hosting this tournament and the Stadium is empty is a disgrace, World Rugby need to take a close look and hold the Canadian RU body accountable.
If England can get 42, 000 to Twickenham for the same match up less than a month ago then Canada need to aim for the same.
The attendance for a game between 2 top class teams was a disgrace. In other locations there would be far greater crowds. Should the Canadians want to promote rugby playing in front of so few makes the game look amateurish. Why not promote the game by giving away tickets to schools. Crowd bigger more noise and gives youngsters a chance to see the game played at its best
I think that the ladies games are far more entertaining and skilful than the men’s game. Well done ladies.
I think the standard is more consistent.
Maybe more entertaining but I think thats because they arent as good in reality.
More fluid only vos they're aren't as good or precise. Like that in most sports. Ladies struggle to kick ball out to touch on demand, and the collisions will never compare hence less attrition and more fluidity. They're are completely different games.
As a life-long lover of the men's game I have to agree with the entertaining part. Men's game is a game of such marginal gains nowadays that teams are willing to play very boringly in order to get ahead. Still think there's a lot more skill in the average men'splayer, but because of the nature of the men's game they hardly ever get to show it.
This England women's team just puts on a clinic every game. As an England fan it's so good to watch.
@@rodwellchigome7567 Fair points, but I do quite like that just booting it to touch isn't everyone's first thought, makes for more running rugby!
Very well done the Roses. Keep it going!! It is for the rest now to try and catch you. No one will enjoy playing against you :)
England looked great in the open but their pure power is way ahead. The only real concern is that the hits in the womens game are getting bigger and bigger. Was kinda hoping overall the the womens game would go slightly different than the men's considering how it has developed in the last 5 or so years. What i mean by this is the women's 7's at the Olympics was super. Was hoping the game in general would move to a more open game rather than power based.
Power works for professionals versus amateurs.
Like the English men team from decades ago. Bori g but winning.
Aicherson can’t tackle!
NZ need to sort some of the tackling and is there a bit of a shortage of pace or fitness when in support of a near runaway? But as always great game to watch. No fan at all of this playing outside of the competing nations.
Why does the southern hemisphere consistently have to come up with new names for everything in rugby? The latest one I’ve been hearing is “fend” instead of “hand off”.
Well done, England women, but it could, and should, have been a wider gap. Great all the same.
More satisfaction watching the England women than men.
NZ are well off the pace. Have great individuals.. but aren't exposed to tough pro rugby enough. Maybe a few could play club in the north to get match hardend.
Abbi Dow has watched Portia Woodman’s fend-off, and got it down pat.
The english team just too strong for our kiwi girls, well played by them.
I wonder if New Zealand has ever experienced such a low point in its rugby history. Both the men’s and women’s teams are suffering significant defeats. It’s disheartening to see such a proud rugby nation struggle like this. The decline seems to stem mainly from an aging team (especially the men’s), a lack of speed (the line is practically walking), and poor coaching.
On November 2nd, England is likely to deliver another heavy defeat, followed by humiliating losses to Ireland and France on November 9th and 17th, respectively.
Perhaps it would be wise for the teams to consider a temporary hiatus from rugby until they can sort out the fundamentals and restore their reputation.
The gap is being closed.
The factors affecting men's and women's rugby appear to be quite different > the ABs are not an aging team comparatively. The average age this year was 27 in the RWC 2015 win the average age was 29.
The major factor is that the All blacks do not simply have the caliber of individuals they have had previously. Only 2 ABs would be considered World XV material Savea and Jordan. In 2015 they would of had 7 or eight players [possibly the best in the world.
England have been far and away the best for years now. The RWC was an aberration as NZ had everything go their way including a red card.
The biggest impact for the BFs would be If the women's kicking game was to improve. Currently they struggle to exit efficiently . The halves are very slow in delivery. Maia Joseph takes forever to clear the ruck.
Rugby although is still held in high regard in NZ the number of registered players both in club, provincial,and super rugby have dropped considerably in the last few years. It also had something to do with the kind of competition we have down here. NZ only have Australia to compete with and given how Australia rugby is not as strong as it used to it's hardly a surprise to see the standard dropped. There are more registered football and basketball players compared to rugby. The lure of other sports such as rugby league, rowing, sailing, kayaking, cricket, motor sports, as well as winter sports have all contributed.
I forgot to mention cycling
Seriously???
Great match from England especially the back three. However, Vahaakolo, Tui and Holmes missed straight up one on one tackles and charged down kicks for five of those (soft) tries. Terrible defending
England played well but still conceded some soft tries from NZ in the second half, just like they did against France in previous meetings.
More work is required to be truly ruthless.
I'm neutral watching this one. 3 of England's tries were clear forward passes. When are the officials going to play the game by the rules?
And . . . three of the NZ turnovers were illegal - no clear release by the tackler. No 6 lying all over the ruck. Players on the wrong side. It happens. Swings and roundabouts.
If the english girls could actually kick conversions this would have been close to 60 points or over.
Yes ) but it’s like the football and the cricket ,they steamroller teams in friendlies and minor tournaments only to screw it up when it matters .England lost to NZ in the World Cup final,it’s their only loss in the last 9 against them.
These events should only be given to nations who want to promote them, apparently Canada did not advertise S powers that be learn from this.
Dubai. why Dubai? Fine if you like 7's but not for 80 mins 15's.
England back line really pacy and exhilirating.
Wot hachuly are these games iv sin loads latly including the men is some competion on i dont now about neil england 👍
The fitness levels of these women athletes has come on so much over the last 10-15 years. So good to see the English women's team gaining the reputation they deserve for all their hard work. It will take some awesome team to beat this current side, they are so strong in all areas.
Kildunne getting away with a comically forward pass for that first England try 😂
New Zealand's backline don't tackle and Englands Women's team is better than their male counterparts
FRANCE V FERNS GOING TO BE GOOD. 49 POINTS AGAINST FERNS. DISGRACEFUL.
The Ferns also have Canada to come ... missed out v them last time
No 11 for NZ needs to learn how to tackle. Leaking easy tries.
Haka past it's sell by date.
Can’t someone teach Breach how to tackle?
How about teaching Aitchison as well?
@@DavidCESmith she had a terrible game……I know it is too late but why isn’t Scarratt a fly-half ?
Scoring 3 tries has a habit of negating the odd missed tackle !
At the end of the day its womens rugby???
Good question. Perhaps "they" rugby would be more appropriate?
Never heard of WXV before?
Meaning?
Misogynists shouldn’t watch. Back to mommy’s basement you go.
England were denied the world cup last time by a crap ref who should have given England a penalty try in the last few minutes but chickened-out. It will not happen again next time, the Red Roses will triumph.
Dont do tackling practice . Black ferns need to learn to tackle around the legs
If the Roses had a goal kicker it would have been all over at half time. Why is Holly preferred over Harrison ? She is weak in defence and can't run apart from that little gripe the Roses are the best. The World champions beat a Roses side that played with 14 players after 20 minutes !!just saying
Holly didn't take any of the kicks, Rowland, Harrison and Scarratt did. The fact that most of them were from the touchline might explain the success rate.
In fairness I would be a shade worried if I was in the NZ camp, I mean 21 of their points resulted from England mistakes and interceptions, in fairness they spotted the slight weakness in tackling through the Scrum half Stand off defensive area? Alot of their offensive breaks came through that section?
I feel Holly is off her best.
I agree that ZH is a much better kicker from hand and off the tee. Her distribution is very similar to HA, so I would start her at 10 especially as England tend to score many of their points in the first half. Of the 9 tries scored only two were converted. A very different ratio to the USA match where ZH was kicking.
The kicking in womans game isn't that great as a whole but even the best womans kicker would've struggled to hit most of those. Alot of the tries were down the wing so high percentage of the conversion kicks were high tarrif. But i do agree if they were made in the first half the scoreline would've looked a whole lot worse for NZ and it would've gave them zero hope of a come back.
