It's over: Canada ends England's 41-match unbeaten streak in women's rugby
England's unprecedented 41-game unbeaten run was broken by Canada 24-21 and witnessed by the biggest crowd in North American women’s rugby on Friday in Toronto.
England will face Tonga in the opening match of the Rugby League World Cup 2026 Pool B stage. Brian McDermott leads his men, who have previously reached the tournament's semi-finals in 1960 and 1972, although no team has surpassed that achievement without the other home nations. To catch the match, viewers can opt for a free streaming option in Australia through Seven and its 7plus service.
In the UK and Ireland, Premier Sports offers the live stream for £18.99 a month or £13.99 a month on a yearly contract. In the US, the RLWC26 Pass costs $25. Overseas, viewers can use a VPN such as NordVPN to bypass geo-blocking and watch the game live.
