  "account": "England's remarkable 41-match unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end at the hands of Canada in a thrilling 24-21 victory in Toronto. The match, witnessed by a record-breaking crowd of 18,621 fans, marked the first time Canada defeated England since November 2022. Canada's Savannah Bauder capitalized on a yellow card awarded to Zoe Harrison to score first in the 15th minute. However, England staged a strong comeback, taking a 14-5 halftime lead with tries from Maddie Feaunati and Harrison. Despite Sarah Bern's response, England extended their lead to nine points through Alysha Corrigan's early second-half try. Canada's DaLeaka Menin sealed the win with a converted score just after the hour mark, setting up a tense finale. The two teams will face off again in Ottawa on October 23 before England concludes their 2026 WXV Global Series against the USA in New Jersey on October 30.",
