Australia co-captain Emily Chancellor wants to pull off the “upset of the tournament” when her side take on the Red Roses in the final Pool A game on Saturday.
In what is set to be a straight shootout for top spot in the Group, the Wallaroos will be vying to end a remarkable 29-game winning streak from the Red Roses.
The Red Roses head into the contest on the back of a record-breaking 92-3 win over Samoa.
However, Australia will be looking to bounce back after a 31-31 draw against the United States.
Former England rugby player Shaunagh Brown says that the Red Roses’ chances of victory are ‘incredibly high’, but warns of the risk of Canada
A close defeat to England looks set to be enough for Australia to put themselves in the quarter-finals but Chancellor is striving for more than that.
“We’re looking forward to the opportunity we have to cause the upset of the competition,” she said.
“If we say the last game was the game of the tournament, let’s look for the upset of the tournament.”
The Red Roses are flying and show no signs of slowing down in the Women’s Rugby World Cup
The record books are not in the Wallaroos’ favour. They have lost seven against England and in their last meeting back in 2023, the scoreline was 42-7 to the Red Roses.
Despite that, Australia are embracing their underdog tag.
“It’s always great to be the dark horse, you know, the pressure isn’t on us,” said flyhalf Tia Hinds
“The pressure is on England and there’s really nothing for us to lose in this game.
“They’re not unbeatable – history says they’ve been beaten before – and it doesn’t say we can’t do that.”
Pool A concludes on Saturday, September 6 with Samoa taking on USA in York at 1.30pm before England face Australia in Brighton at 5pm in a blockbuster clash where top spot is on the line.

Bill Belichick’s UNC Debut Exposed Flaws — But It’s Too Soon to Panic
Bill Belichick's debut as North Carolina's head coach might have been the worst game of his head coaching career.The 48 points UNC gave up to TCU on Monday night were more than any Belichick-coached team gave up in any game during his 29 seasons as an NFL head coach. The 48-14 final was also tied for the second-largest margin of defeat in Belichick's head coaching career. After Belichick's Tar Heels committed a multitude of errors that allowed the Horned Frogs to score 41 straight points in Monday's game, FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt admitted that he's a bit concerned about UNC. However, he has some hope that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can work some of his magic, while getting some scheduling luck, to right the ship in Chapel Hill. "Am I worried about North Carolina? Yeah, a […]

Os vários recados de Ancelotti para Neymar
O técnico Carlo Ancelotti deu uma série de recados para o atacante Neymar, além de responder, com tranquilidade e em bom português, ao comentário do craque sobre a ausência na convocação. Em entrevista coletiva nesta quarta-feira antes do jogo com o Chile, o italiano enumerou algumas prerrogativas para eleger 25 dos 70 atletas que disse serem convocáveis pelo Brasil. Entretanto, ao elencar a qualidade dos mesmos em primeiro lugar, lembrou que pode chamar jogadores por seu melhor encaixe no coletivo como critério anterior ao nível técnico. - Os recados são: qualidade, primeiro. Depois, estar 100% fisicamente. E que encaixem bem para a equipe. Que joguem para a equipe, não para o individual. Eu escalo um jogador com menos qualidade que outro mas mais efetivo para a equipe - , disse Ancelotti. Antes, o treinador afirmou que a ausência de Neymar […]
