England vs. Scotland: How to watch Women’s Rugby World Cup quarterfinal

It has been a thrilling Women’s Rugby World Cup so far, but now comes the crescendo: It’s time for the knockout stages.

The Red Roses have been everything that coach John Mitchell had demanded of his time. They were flawless in the pool stage, with three one-sided victories over the United States, Samoa and Australia to show for it. They were favourites to go all the way to the final before the tournament, and nothing has changed.

Sunday’s quarterfinal opponent comes a little close to home, though. Scotland beat Wales and Fiji to ensure they kept their spot in the competition, although a 40-19 defeat to world No. 2-ranked Canada means they still have a mountain to climb.

History is firmly on England’s side too: These two sides face off every year in the Women’s Six Nations, but you have to go back to 1999 for the last time that Scotland won this rivalry.

Will it be the same result this time?
