England's 41-game unbeaten streak ends with loss to Canada

England's Red Roses saw their 41-game unbeaten run come to an end after a late rally from Canada secured a 24-21 victory in their WXV Global Series match in Toronto. The defeat marked a dramatic conclusion to England's long streak without defeat.

The Red Roses had maintained an impressive run of 41 games without losing, highlighting their strong form in women's rugby. This loss interrupts their momentum in the WXV Global Series, a competition designed to promote international women's rugby across top nations.

The match took place in Toronto, where Canada managed to overturn the deficit late in the game to claim a narrow win. This result will impact the standings in the WXV Global Series and adds pressure on England as they prepare for their upcoming fixtures.

England now face the challenge of regrouping after this setback, while Canada will look to build on their victory as the series progresses. The WXV Global Series continues to provide a platform for competitive international matches between leading women's rugby teams.
