Rugby World Cup 2025: What legacy will this year's tournament leave?

It was a weekend of celebration for the Red Roses and their fans with their sensational win over Canada giving them their third Women's Rugby World Cup win.

The tournament gathered fans of the sport from all across the world, with thousands of tickets sold and a new generation of young supporters getting involved too.

Women's rugby has come far, but there are still lots of questions around the popularity of the sport and what opportunities rising stars will have in the future.

Emma-Louise spoke to former rugby player Gill Burns and Ava, who is hoping to go pro in the future, to see what they think.
