England Claims Inaugural WXV 1 Title, Canada Upsets France | WRR 128

Welcome to the Women’s Rugby Rundown for October 30-November 5. England secured the inaugural WXV 1 championship with a statement victory over New Zealand, while Canada caused an upset by defeating France in an exciting early game. Australia also clinched a win against Wales. Additionally, we learned all the winners of this year's World Rugby Awards. Unfortunately the ceremonies were split into two separate events due to the ongoing women's WXV tournament. The decision by World Rugby to hold separate venues for these events has faced criticism for not giving all the winners their due recognition. In 7s news, the USA secured their first-ever Pan American Games gold by defeating Canada, the champions from 2015 and 2019, in the final, while Brazil claimed an unexpectedly dominant bronze medal with a resounding 45-0 victory over Colombia. In Premier & Club news, we look at updates from Ireland's Energia AIL, the Welsh and Scottish Premierships, and USA's Club Division 1 & 2. We close out the week with 7 features, 9 media and 1 Rugby Job.
