sponsored by Porsche Centre Sheffield (www.porschesheffield.co.uk)
“The England women's national rugby union team first played in 1982. England were the 2014 Rugby World Cup champions after beating Canada in the final. Their coach is Simon Middleton after their coach Gary Street, who had been head coach since 2006, contract wasn't renewed. Street now coaches Harlequins Ladies.
Captain: Sarah Hunter
Coach: Simon Middleton” (Wikipedia)
“The Canada women's national rugby union team is governed by Rugby Canada, and plays in red and black. They were ranked 5th in World Rugby's inaugural women's rankings and are currently ranked as the second best team in the world.” (Wikipedia)
http://www.scrumqueens.com; the self-proclaimed online home of Women’s Rugby, rank New Zealand first, England second and Canada third.
Last time out on 26th August 2017 Canada Senior Women beat Australia 12-43 in Belfast. The game saw Canada Women run in seven tries.
In the WRWC 2017 Canada made the most metres (3,510), passes (1,184), carries (862) and offloads (94). Canada scored the second highest number of tries after New Zealand; England were third. ( www.rwcwomens.com/news/276877)
Sunday’s match promises to be hard-fought, with many tries scored and a repeat of the 2014 World Cup Final.
On the ninth November 2018, “England Women started their Quilter Internationals with a 57-5 win over USA Women at Allianz Park, on the night fly half Katy Daley-Mclean earned her 100th cap” (https://www.englandrugby.com)
England Women Head Coach Simon Middleton said: “With no summer tour this year, the Quilter Internationals cannot come soon enough. The squad are raring to go and we couldn’t wish for a better start than against the USA…
"Like us, Canada and Ireland will be looking forward to continuing their evolution with new squads and coaching staff in place.”…
Doncaster Knights Chief Executive Tony De Mulder said: “It is a great honour for us at Castle Park and Doncaster Knights. We’re so proud of our stadium and the facilities we have here. It’ll be a great chance for thousands of people to see it and a great occasion for South Yorkshire to host an international rugby fixture.
“We have a women’s rugby programme that involves schools, our own team the Doncaster Demons, as well as Yorkshire that train at Castle Park, so it will bring a spotlight to women's rugby to the good people of South Yorkshire. We can’t wait to play our part and encourage local girls and women to take up the sport and cheer on the Red Roses.”
England played Canada three times last season, winning the series 3-0.”
