Totally agree and sell tickets on the gate at reduced prices such as theatres. USA will come back as much improved in a couple of seasons, they have a habit of improving after losing!
Only recently started watching the Red Roses and women's Rugby. Really enjoying the open running rugby and the skills on display. Seems less turgid forward based than the mens games. Go England!
I don't particularly disagree, but what this game seemed to lack was solid lines of defence and tackling - that is where I think the women's game will develop - but great running open phases of play.
The laws seem to suit the game played by women better than the men's game. I have been watching men's rugby for a long time and it seems to me that the women's game is currently similar to that played by Wales in the early 1980s, which was the time that the men's game was most fun to watch.
@@glynnwright1699 Wales in the 70s as well. I have reffed many a women's match. Believe me, they make more mistakes, and therefore there is more open play just from that.
@@martinp17 Hope that doesn't happen. I like the more open play, and trust me, I've reffed many a women's match over the decades after I stopped playing.
@@ldfreitas9437 I am sure you are right, but I am very surprised at the overall level of skills and athleticism that the best women players bring to the game, especially the back line. Zoe Harrison kicked more goals than most premiership 10s would achieve against USA, and displayed a high standard of tactical awareness. Abby Dow, Sophie de Goede and Alev Kelter all display a range of skills that you seldom see in the men's game. Jess Breach and Fancy Bermudez are faster than other wings by a margin that just doesn't exist with the men. I much prefer watching women's matches nowadays.
It was a long way from the Roses first team, with tryouts and injury returnees (and no Marlie). The total co-ordination was not up to the usual standard. Kudos to U.S.A. they have some powerful players and good runners. They take it seriously and are improving. It is a pity the crowds do not turn out yet, but North America is dominated by U.S. sports that are relatively minor in the rest of the world. The whole game and aftermath was a lesson in sportsmanship and cameraderie to some other sports.
I am new to Rugby thanks to RUclips Springboks and All Blacks channels I am becoming a fan, but Rugby will never replace our Football in my heart having played it in Highschool and College, also the Rugby men's game will never replace Football due to the salary difference for elite athletes so our top athletes will always choose the $$ of the NFL, which means we can't compete with the guys that don't make it in Football against SA/NZ and other country's top athletes who play Rugby... Our only hope is our women because we don't have leagues for women that pay at the level of the men's game, so the choice is dependent on which sport you like more for women. But Rugby I is a great sport and rugby players are Tough as hell.. And this is coming from a guy that didn't know there were two Rugby sports just a year ago league and Union... 🤣🤣🤣
Yea agree, bits of cohesion missing here and there. But a lot of the passing was more connected, ( i know some wasn't, it has been a lot worse) and kicking for goal unbelievably better. The opportunities given to some newer faces, proved good because that experience is valuable to player and coach. Those "rested" , ( and players will need a rest in tournaments) will pop back in. Tournaments often produce performances that can be err not quite as good as when you see them in a one off, or 3 game series; because you have to swap players about.
Two observations. Firstly, the size of the crowd raises the question as to whether next year France should host last year we also had disappointing crowds. Secondly, the debutant winger looks promising which means that England might have an interchangable set of wingers as well as a complete front row change. Also that means that Kildunne and Dow will have competition for places.
@@copferthat Even worse, it seems not to have been promoted in Vancouver. What's the point of sticking the game in such a large stadium if your only means of promotion is word-of-mouth? World Rugby has not gotten a hold of this at all.
Watching from NZ, that was the most clinical dynamic game I’ve ever seen the Red Roses play. Lovely to watch. The try scored by the debutant Westcombe- Evan’s I haven’t seen that exact same move since the Black Ferns used it against Wales in the last WRWC and Breach’s try was a peach. Mathews doing Mathews things and Harrison’s boot on point. USA played out of their skins as well and I thought the game was closer than what the game suggests. They certainly made England work for the majority of the match. Great to see this team progressing well under Sione Fukofuka.
The USA exposed a couple of defensive frailities which ENG will need to tighten up on because when the play the Ferns in a meaningful match they will certainly expose them.
USA played a great match, they are a powerful team, England had to work hard to get a good win in the end. Zoe Harrison was superb, her spot kicking almost faultless, she converted some difficult kicks to keep England's scoreboard looking good
"She converted some difficult kicks to keep the scoreboard looking good" - England scored 9 tries they didn't need the conversions to make it look good USA were smashed 😂
Entertaining game that. USA had a good go - their number 12 was very good - but England had too much class. Venue was far too big, poor decision by organisers.
This has been said for many years. And the top teams continue to win... What if the best players for Samoa, Fiji, etc. are merely showcased - only to be creamed-off by the top-tier nations? (Seems to happen a lot!) How will the international game truly develop, then? Will other teams come through and be truly competitive? (I'm thinking about the men's game... but I wonder if it happens in the women's game, too...?) Regarding Argentina, Japan, etc.... in the men's game, they can win as a one-off; but going on to win consistently...? No, if anything, things are going backward: Australia are no longer serious challengers, for example. (Yet, they won the World Cup twice!) And in the women's game...? Maybe they can point the way forward to the men by making international competition far stronger. (But the pessimist in me tends to doubt it!)
@@philfoster8789did you watch the rugby championship? Argentina were excellent and ended up same points as NZ. The point made by OP is right - Argentina have become consistently excellent by playing in that tournament.
Exceptional performance from The Red Roses, some cracking tries too. Thankfully was able to watch the full game, just wish it was on broadcast television aswell as streaming.
The USA were better than I expected but the superior skill and athleticism told over the 80 minutes. The USA 12 is an absolute baller! Scazza is feeling her way back to form and hopefully she will continue to improve The English debutants we're decent and the expected set piece dominance took a while to come to the fore
Really good game! USA were fantastic - their tries were awesome! So glad the red roses finished so strongly tho - with Canada and New Zealand matches coming up they really need to be on top of their game if they hope to take the WXV1 title for a second year in a row.
Kelter, you're one of the best in the world, where did you pick up this habit of looking to the ref for help? This is the first I've seen you complain and it was egregious.
With the greatest respect to the wonderful playing of Holly Aitchison and having seen the recent game of the Roses v the USA, I have always had an issue with the primary weakness in the England squad and that has been a consistent fly-half but specifically with the kicking duties. We all know how very necessary that role becomes most especially when the outcome of a game depends on the fine margins of precious points both from penalties and try conversions. Step into the breach then, Zoe Harrison! Her performance in that area alone was impressive to say the least! My feeling then is that Zoe should be the ‘go to’ player if for nothing else but that task and in no way does that undermine Holly’s abilities and excellence on the field. Does anyone feel differently to this suggestion, er…….John Mitchell?!
The US played well: two of the tries they conceded, were gifted to us, and, they could have scored another try. They should be proud of their performance.
Usa were reckless in many tackles . The referee was over tolerant , as with the jaw challenge on Ellie who was lucky not to have a her jaw broken , the referee just ignored a sending off offense . The question is , do England need to risk players of quality in a pointless competition against inexperienced teams who are likely to cause unnecessary injuries before a world cup competition ?.
Credit to a much improved USA, they really took the fight to England which led to a frenetic game early on, this caused England to lose control at times.
@@robinholland1136 Going by the stadium crowd it isn't growing much is it? I liked watching it as I do the England cricket as well but it is nowhere near the standard of the men's game, don't kid yourself.
@@anglewodenI’m never going to suggest it’s the same standard. The fact that it is a lower standard helps. More like rugby was when I played, with all sorts of shapes and sizes able to find their place.
@@StevenJackson-re6qm I agree to an extent, it doesn't have to be at the same standard. I prefer Men's football when it was played in the 70's and 80's because it was a tad rougher than today. But women's football is not even at the standard to under 15's boys teams and I have no urge to watch them either. I did watch some England Women's cricket the other night and liked it.
Zoe Harrison is the best choice at no 10.She controls the game better than Aitchison,makes fewer mistakes and her goal kicking is phenomenal.At the top level her abilities will be absolutely essential.
Of greater concern: the overall standard of the international game. Did we want to witness a whitewash? (Look at the "crowd" in the stadium: the substantial victory by England was a foregone conclusion.) What's the expression? "Like shooting fish in a barrel."
I've never seen an English women's 15 kick their conversions so well, even the one that missed hit the post! Converting tries has always been a weakness with the English women's team. I think it was Brian Moore (not the football commentator) who said the women should be allowed to stand nearer to the goal, when taking a converted kick.
Some nice tries by the Red Roses and the overall strength of the squad was too much for a spirited USA team. However, far, far too many errors. Three times in a row in the second half they allowed USA to get the ball from a restart after they had scored, indefensible. When will they learn, and particularly the scrum half, that when you pass the ball you pass it to the midriff not the head! They’ll need to up their game, although let’s acknowledge there were a lot of new players in the fifteen. Onwards, from a very keen Red Roses supporter.
@@oldershikari828 I didn't: 1) No tradition of the game there. 2) Everyone knew who would win - by a substantial margin - before a ball was kicked. Unfortunate - but that's the reality.
Remember, this was the early KO (12:30 local time). There were many more by the time Canada played France in the second game of the day (which was also very entertaining).
Eng will choke in WC..........again........it's inevitable I believe France vs NZ final will be happening.....the resurgence from both teams has been outstanding since their rebuilding phases Eng simply too good for everyone once again...but it aint the years that matter...... I like ENG but I feel another heartbreak coming on
It's the driving on the left side of the road that gives the English a distinct advantage, that advantage alone is worth 41 points... How many points did England win by?? Take out 41 points from the English side and that's your final score... I hope explained it scientifically and logically correct for everyone to understand. Have a good day everyone!
The Yanks were totally outgunned but fair play to them, they managed to score some nice tries. England's backs looked slick. RE: the channel admin. Thankfully, unlike the idiots who run the Men's RWC channel, you're not putting spoiler scores in the title or thumbnail, and creating chapters is good too.
US Women's Rugby fails miserably on the social media promotional front. I am in Arizona and I can easily jump on youtube and within seconds be watching an interview with the newest flanker on the Sale Sharks or an expose on the front three of the Black Ferns. Yet I would have a long search to find something on an American Womans Team at all. Its a shame that I can so easily follow teams halfway around the world yet so limited exposure in my own backyard.
The win did not justify the Roses performance here. The USA were bigger and far stronger than the Roses and it was only their technical ability that let them down. A team to fear in WC2025 if they turn up. Highlight for me was our spot kicker, exceptional on the night but must keep it up and be consistent. The young guns acquitted themselves well getting tries between them. Outstanding solo tries for Jess and Ellie, but oh Ellie Kildunne, you ain't a 15 sweetheart, you got wasted by the Yanks. Maybe your best role is 13. My choice at 15 is Emma Sing. Only when the rear guard came on with 20 mins left did we notice the change in class, until then, for me, USA dominated 60 mins of that game. Bitch over, well done ladies and good luck against the Ferns because I think they may just take that game.
The fact that you use the term 'rear guard´ confirms to me that a) you know bugger all about rugby and that b) you may well having been watching a different game to the rest of us.
Fully agree. Ellie Kildunne is a lovely player but you are dead right, she is poor defensively and not a good 15. Emma Sing is the best English full back by a country mile, she can kick and score tries.
The Red Roses have to play in empty stadiums because of "promoting" the game to please the Rugby hierarchy. Twice the team has gone to New Zealand in two major tournaments with only somewhere approaching a crowd when the game involved the NZ team. Now the same in Canada. Such tournaments should only be scheduled in countries that make the effort to fill their stadiums and stop virtue signaling..
So you only play in countries that already has rugby in it. Ok , how do you spread the game? How do you promote it in countries that do not have rugby? Tell us , oh wise one.

Lots of points scored for the Roses,but a generally poor quality performance,if thats John Mitchells idea of ruthless and clinical he needs to hit the textbooks again.Fragile on the left edge again,and no forward dominance.Lucy Packer was poor.Lucky it wasnt the Black Ferns today,the Roses would have been soundly beaten.
@@johnseabrook1703Here here! I second that. Dispite the missing veteran leadership and strong presence of rookies on pitch, this squad would have given anyone in the world a run for their money.
@@johnseabrook1703 well obviously,but it didnt look like new plays and the debs' played well.the result of the Irish game has no bearing on the Roses game.
Who is concerned about playing the Black Ferns ? Not England as they have beaten them 3or 4 times since the World Cup. Even the Irish beat them. Canada will be a good match up.
Great crowd turnout once again for women’s sport, the only times the stadiums have crowds in is when they give away free tickets when you buy a cheeseburger at MacDonalds, or give free tickets to schools and other establishments, hardly anyone wants to watch this rubbish eventually it will die a natural death.
This is an experimental World Wide competition which includes many countries which are not traditional rugby players. The range from the very best to the worst is naturally wide. The top nations can play to full stadiums, and even domestic games in England have large crowds and some television coverage. There was a lot worth watching this weekend, e.g Netherlands v Samoa and the Japanese fighting to the end against a South African team that seriously outweighed them and had the advantage of a home venue. Crowds etc. do tend to indicate that women's sport is still not taken as seriously or supported as well as in the U.K. and some other nations. The point is--they want to play and they have been given the opportunity. Some of the U.S. team are keen enough to improve their game that they now play for English teams.
why don’t you give out free tickets to local schools and colleges, businesses, womens groups, build your base? Wouldn’t that make sense?
Women aren't great watchers of sport.
And the crowd goes wild...
Couldn't agree more. The empty stadiums are just embarrassing.
That's the best suggestion I've seen, you've got to grow the game by making potential players aware of it.
Totally agree and sell tickets on the gate at reduced prices such as theatres. USA will come back as much improved in a couple of seasons, they have a habit of improving after losing!

Remember, this was the early KO (12:30 local time). There were many more by the time Canada played France in the second game of the day (which was also very entertaining).
The ladies deserve better crowds than this.
Played in a massive stadium. In front of a crowd of 12.
Eng will choke in WC..........again........it's inevitable
I believe France vs NZ final will be happening.....the resurgence from both teams has been outstanding since their rebuilding phases
Eng simply too good for everyone once again...but it aint the years that matter......
I like ENG but I feel another heartbreak coming on
Be nice to see WXV1 2026 in Europe. Triple headers on consecutive Saturdays in Paris, Dublin and London. I think we'd see 3 sellout crowds.
Why was the Wales vs. Australia game blocked after i made a comment about wales win not being uploaded while the game that Australia won was uploaded.
Wat u smoking?
Shes a good player but I am really unimpressed by the american centre's shouting at the referee at 7:35
It's the driving on the left side of the road that gives the English a distinct advantage, that advantage alone is worth 41 points... How many points did England win by?? Take out 41 points from the English side and that's your final score... I hope explained it scientifically and logically correct for everyone to understand. Have a good day everyone!
Excellent performance. Ignore the many moronic comments here below.
Where is the crowd ???????
Jeeeeeeeeeesus H Christ on a popsicle stick, that second try………..
I find womens rugby a lot more entertaining than womens football,
The Yanks were totally outgunned but fair play to them, they managed to score some nice tries. England's backs looked slick.
RE: the channel admin. Thankfully, unlike the idiots who run the Men's RWC channel, you're not putting spoiler scores in the title or thumbnail, and creating chapters is good too.
Nice to see a full stadium . Hope they demand the same prize money as in the men’s game
You just copy and paste? Boring.

Why hold this in such a massive stadium which just looks empty?
Due to Rugby having serious delusions of grandeur!

Met the parents of one of the Red Roses in Vancouver the other night. Nice people.
It seems unfair as the English seem twice the size of any opposition.
The excitement of Rugby played by women is evident by the huge crowds here. Not! Like watching paint dry.
WXV venues look like during pandemic. 😐
Poor attendance.
I shouldn’t be like that.
But it will be... until the games are no longer processions! (I've no interest - until the games become more competitive...)
Can't be many women in the US who play RU. I wonder if any play Rugby League?
There's nearly 12000 registered female RU players in the US. It's most popular in New England, Colorado and California.
@@justonecornetto80 wow, that's far more than I would have thought
Why play fake scrum rugby only Australian interested in when you can play real rugby
US Women's Rugby fails miserably on the social media promotional front. I am in Arizona and I can easily jump on youtube and within seconds be watching an interview with the newest flanker on the Sale Sharks or an expose on the front three of the Black Ferns. Yet I would have a long search to find something on an American Womans Team at all. Its a shame that I can so easily follow teams halfway around the world yet so limited exposure in my own backyard.
More skill and action than an American f**tball game. So where is the great American sports supporters???????
Agreed...... American football is all about entertaining and getting good money but the overall is nothing compared to the Mighty Rugby 👊
😂 what does another sport have to do with this match? Stop letting things live rent free in your head.
la France qui régresse..! les nuls ne sont pas sur le terrain..!
Packed house hey.
The win did not justify the Roses performance here. The USA were bigger and far stronger than the Roses and it was only their technical ability that let them down. A team to fear in WC2025 if they turn up. Highlight for me was our spot kicker, exceptional on the night but must keep it up and be consistent. The young guns acquitted themselves well getting tries between them. Outstanding solo tries for Jess and Ellie, but oh Ellie Kildunne, you ain't a 15 sweetheart, you got wasted by the Yanks. Maybe your best role is 13. My choice at 15 is Emma Sing. Only when the rear guard came on with 20 mins left did we notice the change in class, until then, for me, USA dominated 60 mins of that game. Bitch over, well done ladies and good luck against the Ferns because I think they may just take that game.
The fact that you use the term 'rear guard´ confirms to me that a) you know bugger all about rugby and that b) you may well having been watching a different game to the rest of us.
Fully agree. Ellie Kildunne is a lovely player but you are dead right, she is poor defensively and not a good 15.
Emma Sing is the best English full back by a country mile, she can kick and score tries.
The Red Roses have to play in empty stadiums because of "promoting" the game to please the Rugby hierarchy. Twice the team has gone to New Zealand in two major tournaments with only somewhere approaching a crowd when the game involved the NZ team. Now the same in Canada. Such tournaments should only be scheduled in countries that make the effort to fill their stadiums and stop virtue signaling..
So you only play in countries that already has rugby in it. Ok , how do you spread the game? How do you promote it in countries that do not have rugby? Tell us , oh wise one.

Lots of points scored for the Roses,but a generally poor quality performance,if thats John Mitchells idea of ruthless and clinical he needs to hit the textbooks again.Fragile on the left edge again,and no forward dominance.Lucy Packer was poor.Lucky it wasnt the Black Ferns today,the Roses would have been soundly beaten.
It was team with debutants, resting key players, trying new plays. Do you not understand? By the way NZ were beaten by Ireland.
@@johnseabrook1703Here here! I second that. Dispite the missing veteran leadership and strong presence of rookies on pitch, this squad would have given anyone in the world a run for their money.
@@johnseabrook1703 well obviously,but it didnt look like new plays and the debs' played well.the result of the Irish game has no bearing on the Roses game.
Who is concerned about playing the Black Ferns ? Not England as they have beaten them 3or 4 times since the World Cup. Even the Irish beat them. Canada will be a good match up.
Great crowd turnout once again for women’s sport, the only times the stadiums have crowds in is when they give away free tickets when you buy a cheeseburger at MacDonalds, or give free tickets to schools and other establishments, hardly anyone wants to watch this rubbish eventually it will die a natural death.
Exhibition game
Imagine if England had fielded their best team... A three-figure score, maybe?
What's the point?!
An entertaining, not completely one sided game giving opportunities to squad players. I enjoyed it.
This is an experimental World Wide competition which includes many countries which are not traditional rugby players. The range from the very best to the worst is naturally wide. The top nations can play to full stadiums, and even domestic games in England have large crowds and some television coverage. There was a lot worth watching this weekend, e.g Netherlands v Samoa and the Japanese fighting to the end against a South African team that seriously outweighed them and had the advantage of a home venue. Crowds etc. do tend to indicate that women's sport is still not taken as seriously or supported as well as in the U.K. and some other nations. The point is--they want to play and they have been given the opportunity. Some of the U.S. team are keen enough to improve their game that they now play for English teams.
US's first try made the English fullback look rather simple!
