by Stephen Abiola in Women's Rugby World Cup Picks
England will look to start strong in Group A of the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup when they play the USA in their first match on Friday evening. The Red Roses come into this tournament as the favorites and the #1-ranked team in the world. They’ll be hoping to ride on their home advantage to dethrone the defending champions, NZ, and win their seventh title. England is the favorite in Group A, which also includes Australia and New Zealand.
Conversely, the USA will try to inflict an unlikely first defeat on England in this competition. However, the odds are against them to qualify from the group, although causing an upset on Friday could reshape the whole tournament outlook. They have boosted their team with former sevens talent, Ilona Maher, who switched from the 15s after moving to Bristol Bears in January. Bookies have given them just a 3% probability of winning. Maybe less pressure could do them some good.
