Yes, I am coping well with the result; why do you ask?
#CANvENG | #RWC2025
Not all fairytales have happy endings...
In the home of rugby, up against a titanic England side, our ladies come up short.
Still, they had a phenomenal tournament, and the world now knows how great they are.
Canada loves this team! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦
Full time: 13-33

After 40, England are in full control.
Forcing Canada into playing THEIR game, and leading by 3 tries to 1.
The difference between a fully professional outfit, and one that had to crowdsource to get this far.
40 more to go.
Halftime: 8-21
#CANvENG | #RWC2025
10 mins in, and tries to both teams.
England gets their conversion.
For the first time in this tournament, Canada is behind.
CAN 5-7 ENG

19.09.2025 20:27 — 👍 20 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0On reflection, calling Canada the "dark horses" of the Women's Rugby World Cup, was an insult to Canada, horses, and maybe the dark as well.
#RWC2025
Due to the timing of today's semi-final match, there will be no live updates during this game.
We'll all be too focused on the game, anyway.
NEW EPISODE ALERT!
Canada's Women were ruthless in their WRWC QF against Australia, while Canada's men were shown ruthlessness by Fiji.
And national & provincial bodies unite for the National Growth Plan 2025-30.
