Heartbreak for England as Red Roses lose to New Zealand in thrilling Rugby World Cup 2022 final

The Telegraph  

14-player England falter in final moments of nail-biting final England 31 New Zealand 34 A glassy eyed Sarah Hunter looked utterly forlorn as she traisped into her post-match press conference after her side had fallen agonisingly short in their aim to banish their World Cup hoodoo against their old nemesis. For the past year, they have had the weight of the world on their shoulders, but couldn’t make their 30-Test winning streak count. It hurts to lose a World Cup final and especially in that manner but I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve done as a team. So, so proud.” This was England’s chance to seize their destiny at the spiritual home of New Zealand rugby, but on a night that will go down as a watershed moment for women’s rugby, they bottled it.
