Rise of the Roses | The story behind the Red Roses' 2014 Rugby World Cup victory

[@JN_lincoln]

We know the ladies were great and the team has come on so much in the last decade. A world cup on home soil with the team we have now, words will never describe! My biggest thing is tho- the dog from the team photo needed much more coverage in this doc!

Both 1994 and 2014 RWC winning teams should have got a national celebration like a parade, a DS / BP reception and a concert at Twickenham. Can’t wait for next summer’s World Cup, again should be in bigger venues like Wembley etc…. Hopefully we’ll see a Parade for all three teams and a national celebration at Twickenham then if we win our third World Cup at the 2025 RWC. 🌹

Agreed.

they haven't won the cup since then

Exactly what I thought, probably due to our lack of success but slightly creepy really. Or maybe because NZ in 2021 won the best game ever in the Womens game. Especially after their previous downturn and being beaten by everyone. A true story of guts, mental toughness and determination regardless of which team you support..

Statistically though its W2+M1=E3. They been to a lot of finals more than the guys. But English rugby still looking mostly good so it's all good. 🏉

@@MrSvender Unfortunately the southern hemisphere countries look even better, we have too many second places! (somewhat like the Olympic team) NZ the best by your statistic. However 2025 in Twickenham looks very promising for our ladies. Also looking forward to the Six nations
