RWC 2025 week 2 review

The RWC has finished its penultimate week of pool games sealing the knockout stages for a lot of the countries. 

The only position still to be decided stands between Australia and USA which will be decided this weekend. But Australia have a tough ask as they face pool A leaders, England. 

Despite finishing bottom of their pool, Brazil had a memorable day scoring their first every World Cup try. It was scored by Bianca Silva who went the distance of the field to make a memorable moment for her country. 

After two weeks Canada’s Julia Schell tops the scoring board, scoring 30 points in two games. She also has scored the most tries, getting herself over the line 6 times. 

And how did my 5 standout players get on? They had a pretty good second round. 

Braxton made the dominant performance I hoped she would. She was named player of the match after scoring a hatrick and converting 4/6 overall tries scored in the game. 

Sophie was also named player of the match after scoring 12 points just through kicks. She’s one of the only forwards to have the duty of kicking. 

Caitlyn had another great day at the office scoring another two tries against USA. Hopefully she can produce another strong performance this weekend to help her team get into the knockout stages. 

Unfortunately Sadia & Edel didn’t play in this weeks game but hope to see them back in action this weekend. 

It’s going to be all eyes on Australia and USA this weekend though, and they’re both going to give it their all for the final place in the knockouts.
