Canada have advanced to the 2025 Rugby World Cup Final after a historic semi-final performance over defending champions, New Zealand. Thanks to a four-try first half and the impressively disciplined Canadian side, the Black Fern's second half comeback attempt was warded off. Canada prevailed 34-19 to return to the Final for the first time since 2014 – where they faced and fell to next weekend's opposition, England. The victory also recorded the largest margin of victory against New Zealand in men’s or women’s Rugby World Cup history.
