I want to say a huge thank you to all of you for joining me, not only for this final but for all the matches at this World Cup. Women’s rugby has always had these rivalries, fantastic talent and inspiring stories and now it finally has been given the platform it deserves. What a final eh?! It was tense and it went down to the wire. For all the action, Rob Kitson’s report is below. England’s women’s club tournament, the Premier 15s, starts next weekend, get to a game if you can.
The team filter through with their glittering medals, they line up and Demant and Simon are likely to lift this together as co-captains. Eden Park are chanting ‘Black Ferns’, to see this with women’s rugby is so emotional. The impact of this tournament is huge. But now we look to the trophy and they raise it into the air which is met with a thunderous roar. Wow, wow, wow! What a moment. History is made.
