Bryony Field named to start for England against Canada in WXV series
Hooker Bryony Field has been selected for her first starting appearance for England. The match serves as a rematch of the previous World Cup final against Canada.
England’s women’s rugby team, known as the Red Roses, has confirmed their lineup for the upcoming WXV Global Series match against Canada. A key development in the team selection is the inclusion of hooker Bryony Field, who will earn her first start for the national side. This fixture is particularly notable as it marks a rematch between the two nations following their meeting in last year’s World Cup final, which England won.
The WXV tournament serves as a high-stakes competition for international women’s rugby, and this match is expected to be a significant test for both squads. While England enters the game with the momentum of their previous victory, the selection of Field indicates a tactical shift or an opportunity for the coaching staff to evaluate depth within the forward pack. The match is part of the broader WXV Global Series, which aims to provide consistent, high-level competition for the top-ranked teams in the world.
