MANAGING director of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025 Sarah Massey believes next year’s tournament will showcase an increase in standards both on and off the pitch.

The 2025 World Cup is set to be staged in England at eight different venues across the country and the Red Roses will open the tournament at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.

England previously hosted the competition in 2010 but Massey believes next year will provide a different spectacle.
