Canadians end Red Roses’ run of 39 successive wins.
The Red Roses remain undefeated in 40 Tests but, for once, there were no victory speeches to be delivered afterwards.
With the clock ticking down and the scores still locked at 26-26, however, it appeared as though England might have located the necessary key, only for the home forwards to be held up over the line and then denied by a loudly Canadian ruck turnover.
The visitors made most of the third quarter running until a turnover in the Red Roses’ 22 gave England a much-needed escape route, leading to a try at the other end for hooker Bryony Field to mark her first international start.

The article, shortened and in plain language
Canadians end Red Roses’ run of 39 successive wins.
Still unbeaten, yes, but for England this was anything but business as usual. The Red Roses remain undefeated in 40 Tests but, for once, there were no victory speeches to be delivered afterwards. For the first time since 2022 they have failed to win an international fixture, bringing to an end one of the purest winning sequences in world sport.
The outcome was still up for grabs deep into the final quarter and England, in the end, were indebted to two first-half tries from their Exeter wing Claudia Moloney-MacDonald which helped to spare their blushes.
With the clock ticking down and the scores still locked at 26-26, however, it appeared as though England might have located the necessary key, only for the home forwards to be held up over the line and then denied by a loudly Canadian ruck turnover.
The can-do Canadians, by contrast, all enhanced their reputations and will now be looking forward with even more eagerness o hosting England in two further WXV series Tests this autumn.
The Red Roses were not looking at their slickest in other areas, either, but did strike back via a ninth minute try for Moloney-MacDonald wide on the left and a no-nonsense barging score from Hannah Botterman.
The visitors made most of the third quarter running until a turnover in the Red Roses’ 22 gave England a much-needed escape route, leading to a try at the other end for hooker Bryony Field to mark her first international start.
