England vs New Zealand preview

Published on 6 October 2024 at 18:19

Kick off: 9pm UK Time 

Where to watch: BBC Iplayer

 

The black ferns will be looking to bounce back from a wounding defeat against Ireland. The defeat was such an upset that it is comparable to Japan's men beating South Africa at the 2015 World Cup. They will now be desperate to earn redemption by beating the World number ones and strong favourites for the WXV1 title. England, on the other hand, will be feeling confident having recently beaten New Zealand at the Allianz Stadium(Twickenham). The red roses rested a couple of players in a comfortable win over the USA and now add the likes of Abby Dow to the starting XV.
