Overview

• Saturday’s decider at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium is set for a sellout of about 82,000, surpassing the women’s 15-a-side attendance record.
• England, on a 32-match winning streak, named an unchanged matchday 23 as coach John Mitchell emphasized recovery and managing the “emotional tank” after the semi-final.
• Canada, coming off a 34-19 win over New Zealand, kept the same lineup for their first final since 2014, with a victory set to lift them to No. 1 in the world rankings.
• Pre-match data highlight contrasting strengths, with England leading in points, tries and tackles while Canada top ruck and scrum success, including 33 scrums won on their own feed.
• A coin toss assigned England the away dressing room and Canada the home one, with both teams training for a noisy environment as the venue retains Allianz branding.
