Victory at Allianz to Fuel World Cup Confidence – Breach.

England winger Jess Breach thinks playing against New Zealand at Twickenham's Allianz Stadium will boost the Red Roses' confidence and help them overcome their Rugby World Cup final struggles next year.

England will face the Black Ferns at the 82,000-capacity Allianz Stadium on Saturday, aiming to extend their 16-match winning streak, which began after New Zealand's victory in the 2022 World Cup final. 

New Zealand has repeatedly beaten England in World Cup finals, including in 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2017.

Jess Breach hopes next year’s World Cup final at the same venue will end differently for England. "The more we play New Zealand, the more comfortable we get," said Breach. 

England earned a bit of redemption with a 33-12 win over New Zealand in Auckland last November and will face them again in the WXV in Canada in October.
