Confident Canada plot the bursting' of England in World Cup final upset

Canada will seek to burst England's aura of invincibility in the Rugby World Cup final, says their most-capped player, Tyson Beukeboom. Canada will stick with the same starting XV that has seen them through the knockout stages and Beukeboom says her team have the means to upset an England side who are unbeaten in their last 32 games. The Roses, because they are a highly structured team, it's easy to play against them, hard to beat them, she said.

Berthoumieu's ban cut to nine games and Feleu also out of Women's Rugby World Cup

I lost my temper Sunday against Ireland. I know this is not acceptable and I am aware that this puts an end to my World Cup. I would like to apologise to Aoife Wafer and Team Ireland, my teammates and staff, FFR and all those who support us. It's not the image I want to give, nor the player I want to be. I accept the sanction. Rugby is a respect sport and this gesture has nothing to do on a rugby field.

USA risk all with nine changes for Australia in Women's Rugby World Cup

It may be only the second week of the Rugby World Cup but it is win or bust for so many teams this weekend and few games have that feeling more than the USA's showdown with Australia in York on Saturday evening. In many ways, this is the game of the round: and perhaps the tournament so far. The two sides began in contrasting fashion.

Brazil fans enjoy carnival atmosphere despite World Cup loss to South Africa | Luke McLaughlin

In certain other sports, Brazil's absence from any World Cup would be regarded as downright bizarre. It's not quite like that in rugby, and their women's 15s team created history simply by running on to the turf on Sunday. The first Brazil team to qualify for a men's or women's Rugby World Cup had played just 16 times before this, winning five matches, including a playoff against Colombia last year that sealed qualification.
