The game is a rematch of the 2014 Women’s World Cup final, won 21-9 by England. Canada is currently ranked second in the world, compared to No. 3 for England.

The latest showdown between the two comes at Twickeham as the nightcap of a doubleheader, following the men’s match between England and Argentina.

The game is the final match of the Canadian women’s three-game European tour, following a 48-7 win over No. 4 Ireland last Saturday and a 20-10 loss to top-ranked New Zealand on Wednesday.

England has been idle since losing 25-20 last Sunday to New Zealand.

“Every game is important for us leading into next year’s Women’s Rugby World Cup,” captain Kelly Russell said in a statement. “We don’t have that much time together so every second counts and we’ve got to build off of every performance.”
