They started slow and early in the match, scrum half Natasha Hunt was overturned onto her head by Samoan fullback Soteria Pulumu, which resulted in Pulumu being sent off, the first red card in a Women's World Cup. 14 August 2014 WRWC 2014: Disciplinary update https://www.world.rugby/news/34854?lang=en 1 March 2022 www.world.rugby Emily Scarratt then gave England first points before Katherine Merchant scored their famous first try.

Canada had the confidence with their first and second wins over England in the 2013 Nations Cup. England scored early on with a penalty from Emily Scarratt, with a quick response from a Canadian try of Karen Paquin, with Magali Harvey's conversion missed. The score remained 3–5 until another Scarratt penalty in stoppage time; England leading 6–5 at half-time. Canada scored another quick try in the second half from Kayla Mack, again unconverted from Harvey. Scarratt however was able to convert the try of vice-captain Sarah Hunter to take the lead back for England a third time, before Harvey's late penalty brought the scores level. What was to follow would become controversial over forthcoming years. England were awarded a penalty again in stoppage time that was easily kickable to the posts, the teams however discussed the decision, and agreed England should kick the ball into touch for a draw instead of over the posts for a win.Rees Paul 9 August 2014 England in Women’s Rugby World Cup semi-finals after draw with Canada http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/aug/09/england-canada-womens-rugby-world-cup 1 March 2022 The Guardian en This was after defending four-time champions New Zealand were upset by Ireland four days earlier.5 August 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup: Ireland stun New Zealand en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/28637552 1 March 20225 August 2014 Ireland women stun New Zealand and top Pool B at Rugby World Cup http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/aug/05/ireland-women-stun-new-zealand-top-pool-b-rugby-world-cup 1 March 2022 The Guardian en By drawing the game, the Black Ferns would be eliminated with both England and Canada going through with Ireland and hosts France. Had England gone for the posts, this would have meant New Zealand would have gone through instead of Canada, which both teams did not desire as Canada would have been knocked out and England had been beaten by New Zealand in the last three finals. In the tournament, the draw resulted in New Zealand being knocked out of the tournament for the first time since losing to the United States in the semi-finals in 1991, as well as guaranteeing new finalists as England were the only former finalists that had qualified for the 1st-4th semi-finals. Outside of the tournament, along with Canada failing to qualify for the 1st-4th semi-finals in 2017, the draw resulted in the format being changed for the 2021 tournament so that there would be quarter-finals preceding the semi-finals.Orchard Sara 10 May 2018 Women's Rugby World Cup: Format changes announced for 2021 tournament en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/44062807 5 March 2022 With the teams drawing, they were seeded 3rd and 4th overall, with England playing 2nd ranked Ireland, and Canada against 1st ranked France. Having only ever lost one out of their six semi-finals and being against Ireland who hadn't yet played one, England were predicted to win the game despite their recent form against the Irish which had dwindled in recent games. England were not seen to be outright favourites as Ireland had recently beaten New Zealand for the first time and won the Grand Slam in the Six Nations the previous year. Canada had the much harder task of defeating the current Six Nations Grand Slam champions France. With the Black Ferns gone, France were new favourites along with England having claimed the Grand Slam for the first time since 2005. The semi-finals commenced on 14 August, with England playing Ireland first. Ireland fielded the exact same side that beat the Black Ferns and pressurised England until scoring first after quarter of an hour. England however, took cruise control and replied with 40 unanswered points with tries from Rochelle Clark, Katherine Merchant, Kay Wilson and two from Marlie Packer; a performance that seemed like those England had previously put over Ireland. 14 August 2014 WRWC 2014: Englands win over Ireland sees them into the Final Against Canada https://www.talkingrugbyunion.co.uk/wrwc-2014-england-s-win-over-ireland-sees-them-into-the-final-against-canada/11441.htm 1 March 2022 Talking Rugby UnionStandley James 13 August 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup 2014: Ireland 7-40 England en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/28757369 1 March 2022 In the other game, Canada came out mostly second-best against the hosts. This was until an end-to-end solo effort from Magali Harvey, an effort that would win her the IRB Women's Player of the Year and subsequently Women's Try of the Decade. France responded but Canada held on to win, their second consecutive win over France in France, and made their first final, resulting in France's sixth successive semi-final defeat.13 August 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup 2014: Canada beat France to make final en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/28774922 1 March 2022 England meanwhile entered their fourth successive final, and sixth overall.

England however did score when Canadian skipper Kelly Russell was fooled by a Tamara Taylor dummy, giving England an overlap sending Danielle Waterman into score their first try.17 August 2014 Women's Rugby World Cup: England beat Canada to win final en-GB BBC Sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/28829205 18 February 2022 Scarratt's conversion went bizarrely wide but England still had a healthy 11–0 lead. Magali Harvey then scored a penalty before halftime to make the score 11–3. Harvey then continued to chip away at England's lead after the break to narrow the gap to two points, 11–9. England then entered cruise control as they did against Ireland first with a response from Scarratt restoring the score to 14–9. In the last quarter, play was mostly contested in England's half, but a miscommunication between centres Rachael Burford and Scarratt confused both England's attack and Canada's defence, allowing Scarratt to break several lines to score the winner. She comfortably converted to put England twelve points clear with five minutes left. England won their second Women's Rugby World Cup, their first in twenty years, and their third overall Rugby World Cup triumph.Riach James 17 August 2014 Emily Scarratt’s boot hands England World Cup final win over Canada http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/aug/17/england-win-womens-world-cup-canada-match-report 18 February 2022 The Guardian en England captain Katy McLean dedicated the win to the England legends who fell short in recent years.
