FT: Canada 13-33 England

John Mitchell speaking to BBC Sport: 'We’ve done a great job of capturing great rugby.
'It's so good to see how the girls have persevered.
'I’m old, sometimes you get them and sometimes you don't. Simon Middleton has made some amazing foundations and we’ve brought into that.
'I think teams kick too long, we got into a contest and got them to play rugby. Our defensive play around the ruck was exceptional.

'A massive effort'published at 18:31 BST 27 September

England forward Sarah Bern: "I actually can't put it into words. It hasn't sunk in yet. We've never played in a stadium like this, we were so inspired. When we walked in, it was electric. I've never felt anything like this.
"We recognised we hadn't put in a full 80 minute performance. For us it was about believing in ourselves and believing in our gameplan. This was a massive squad effort."
'Women's sport is on a high'published at 18:30 BST 27 September

England centre Meg Jones: "I'm so proud. We faced adversity. This game doesn't care about adversity. It just cares about the repeated efforts you put in. I'm so proud of the girls, proud of the coaching staff. Proud of this one [Ellie Kildunne]. She's got a dirty step, she was amazing.
"It's crazy. You only have to look at the Six Nations and how we've grown. I think it's amazing how far we've come. Women's sport is on a high. Let's keep it there."

FT: Canada 13-33 England

England's defence coach Sarah Hunter on BBC One: "It means everything. It's a moment in time for the women's game. For our girls to experience being world champions in front of an amazing ground is incredible.
"I'm just immensely proud of them. Everyone spoke about Canada's threat but we just stuck to our process. We denied them access at all points. I will forever be proud of them for what they've done today."
