Canada Halts England's Rugby Winning Streak in Thrilling Draw

England's impressive 39-match winning streak was brought to a halt by Canada in a dramatic 26-26 draw in the WXV Global Series. The streak, which had extended back to the 2022 World Cup final loss to New Zealand, concluded on home soil.

The WXV Global Series is a new international women's rugby union competition featuring three tiers of teams from the top rugby nations. The competition aims to increase the number and standard of international matches played each year.

England entered the match as strong favorites, having not lost a match since their World Cup final defeat. Canada, however, proved to be a formidable opponent, securing a draw that ended England's lengthy unbeaten run in a closely contested match.
