Today - and every day - #EveryChildMatters

And so, the Women's Rugby World Cup is over. The cycle resets. All eyes on Australia. We go again. #RWC2025 | #WomensRugby

Do you know how Goede you have to be to miss half the year through injury, lose the Rugby World Cup Final, and STILL be named Women's Player of the Year?!? Amazing, fully deserved achievement for Sophie de GOATe! 🇨🇦🐐 #RugbyCA | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

Canadians watching England lift the WRWC trophy, after their epic match that they won fair & square:

Technically, with Mackenzie Carson in the England squad, at least one Canadian-born player is world champion. Yes, I am coping well with the result; why do you ask? #CANvENG | #RWC2025

Not all fairytales have happy endings... In the home of rugby, up against a titanic England side, our ladies come up short. Still, they had a phenomenal tournament, and the world now knows how great they are. Canada loves this team! 🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦❤️🇨🇦 Full time: 13-33 #CANvENG | #RWC2025

After 40, England are in full control. Forcing Canada into playing THEIR game, and leading by 3 tries to 1. The difference between a fully professional outfit, and one that had to crowdsource to get this far. 40 more to go. Halftime: 8-21 #CANvENG | #RWC2025

10 mins in, and tries to both teams. England gets their conversion. For the first time in this tournament, Canada is behind. CAN 5-7 ENG #CANvENG | #RWC2025

The Women's Rugby World Cup Final! Here we go... #CANvENG | #RWC2025

Less than 24 hours to go... #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

NEW EPISODE ALERT! New Zealand and Canada - one of the greatest test matches in rugby history! The Canadians took their style of rugby to the defending champions, winning an historic 34-19, and aim to go all the way in the World Cup Final! Check it out: www.lerougerugby.ca/podcast/lrr-...

Kevin Rouet names an unchanged side from the team that beat the Black Ferns, to go the distance against England in the Women's Rugby World Cup Final. KO is 11am ET/8am PT on TSN 1 & 4, and CTV 2. To quote Shania Twain; "Let's go, girls!" #RugbyCA | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

On the last Wednesday in September - Rowan's Law Day - , we remember Rowan Stringer, and remember the importance of concussion education. Remember - if in doubt, sit them out! For Rowan. #RowansLawDay www.ontario.ca/page/rowans-...

Another fantastic video by @squidgerugby.bsky.social, on how amazing this Canadian team is, and how they were able to shut down the Black Ferns in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final:

On reflection, calling Canada the "dark horses" of the Women's Rugby World Cup, was an insult to Canada, horses, and maybe the dark as well. #RWC2025

Due to the timing of today's semi-final match, there will be no live updates during this game. We'll all be too focused on the game, anyway.

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Canada's Women were ruthless in their WRWC QF against Australia, while Canada's men were shown ruthlessness by Fiji. And national & provincial bodies unite for the National Growth Plan 2025-30. Check it out: www.lerougerugby.ca/podcast/lrr-...

Canada name an unchanged matchday 23 for their semi-final clash against the Black Ferns. Karen Paquin will earn her 50th cap, as Canada looks to make the Women's Rugby World Cup Final for the first time since 2014. #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

An unfortunate, if predictable, result against Fiji. Canada will now face Tonga for 3rd place next week. #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #PNC2025

Tessier's penalty goes wide as the clock goes red, and Australia knocks it on in resulting play. The Wallaroos have been taken to the absolute cleaners by Canada! Canada advances to the semi-finals, and onto the defending champions - the Black Ferns! FT: 46-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

A try for our Pa-Queen! Collected from the lineout, Karen Paquin uses her 7s experience to avoid the tacklers, and secure another try for Canada. Tessier's conversion is wide. 46-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

Interesting...Canada elects for the posts. For the first time in this tournament, Canada doesn't go for the try, and Opta for 3 points instead. Good thing Alex Tessier is accurate, as she picks up another 3 points, and eats into the clock. 41-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

The heavens have opened in Bristol, but Canada holds strong. The Wallaroos throw the kitchen sink at the Canadian defence, but Sophie de Goede spots an opportunity, and turns the ball over. 38-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

It took 9 mins into the 2nd half, but Canada is able to extend their lead. A stolen lineout brings Canada into the Australian 22, and Fabiola Forteza reaches out to score the try. de Goede scores the conversion. 38-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

With a strong lead, Canada elects to kick the ball out, and end the half. It's all going the way of the Canadians right now, but anything can happen in 40 minutes. I'm not jinxing anything... Halftime: 31-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

It took some time, but Canada goes over for their 5th. From the lineout, the driving maul proves fruitful, as McKinley Hunt gets another try in this campaign. de Goede scores the conversion. 31-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

Lots of action in Australia's 22! One try attempt is turned over, and a second is eventually pushed into touch by the Wallaroos. Canada steals the lineout, and with constant pressure, looks to have scored, but TMO calls back for a knock-on. Incredible. 24-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

It's the bonus point!...if we were still doing bonus points. Australia has no answer for Canada's ruck speed & offloading, as Alysha Corrigan goes over for her 2nd of the match. de Goede lands the conversion. 24-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

All gas, no brakes! Canada runs it right back to Australia's try line, and while there is a bit of confusion, the ref & TMO determine that it's a try for Canada's Sophie de Goede! A much easier angle, and de Goede nails this conversion. 17-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

No denying this try! A few risky passes come together, and Alysha Corrigan reaches out, to get the ball on the line. de Goede's conversion is wide. 10-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

Immediate response from Canada! Unfortunately, the ball is knocked-on in the grounding. Canada collects the goal-line dropout, wins the penalty, but cause their own penalty in the lineout. 5-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

It's now Australia who use their 7s stars to their advantage. Desiré Miller, in a copy of Hogan-Rochester, finds space on the wing, and runs in for the try. The conversion goes wide. 5-5 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

CANADA vs AUSTRALIA 2 mins into the game, and it's a try to Canada! Asia Hogan-Rochester sees space in front of her, and has the speed to get ahead of defenders, and score the opener. Sophie de Goede's conversion goes wide. CAN 5-0 AUS #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #CANvAUS

NEW EPISODE ALERT! Tyson Beukeboom became the most-capped Canadian player in history, as Canada got a clean sweep in their WRWC pool, and the men qualified for the MRWC, despite not playing this weekend. Check it out: www.lerougerugby.ca/podcast/lrr-...

"Opponents to besties" Who wants to tell the RWC admin that Rachel Malcolm & Julia Schell are more than besties?

They've done it! Canada's men will return to the Rugby World Cup in 2027! 🇨🇦🏆 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #RWC2027

ありがとう、日本。 カナダが男子ラグビーワールドカップに復帰します！

Strewth, maaaate! Canada will face Australia in the Quarter Finals of the Women's Rugby World Cup. Victory is a step closer to lifting the cup, and making the semi-finals secures Canada's automatic qualification for the next WRWC (Australia auto-qualify as hosts.) #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #RWC2025

Get out the brooms - it's a CLEAN SWEEP FOR CANADA!!! 🧹🧹🧹 Canada's defence held back Scotland, and they were able to capitalise on ball in hand, as they storm to a 3rd BP win. Next up - either Australia or USA, in the RWC quarter-finals! Full time: 40-19 #RugbyCAN | #OneSquad | #RWC2025
