The female players for England rugby are scheduled to play against New Zealand on November 21 this year at Twickenham. Aside from this highly anticipated event, the men’s rugby team will also battle against the All Blacks.

This is the first time that the England men and women rugby play at the same venue at the same date. This occasion is part of the three-Test series between New Zealand and England.

The England rugby team will have a chance to avenge its 2006 women’s World Cup final defeat against New Zealand. The latter team edged the former 25-17 during that blockbuster encounter. England will play host of the women’s rugby World Cup final next year.

England coach Gary Street said that he’s confident that the four-time defending Six Nations Rugby champion will do well in the upcoming match. He added that the team’s performance in this match will serve as a benchmark on how they’ll fare in next year’s World Cup.

RFUW Managing Director Rosie Williams said that the women’s team is garnering massive support from the public which is a positive development in the sport.
