England's women's rugby team was eliminated from the Women's Rugby League World Cup following a 24-6 loss to Samoa in their final group match. Despite a strong effort, England struggled against Samoa's powerful performance, which included a hat-trick from Freedom Crichton Ropati.
The defeat marks a significant setback for England, who had aimed for a fifth consecutive semi-final appearance. With a young squad focused on future tournaments, attention now turns to the 2030 World Cup as they seek to improve their standing in the international rugby league landscape.
With England's exit, focus shifts to nurturing young talent for the 2030 World Cup. Fans should watch for player development and potential recruitment strategies to enhance competitiveness, especially against fully professional teams like Samoa and Australia.
