England women are the favourites to win the 2025 Rugby World Cup on home soil. Given their form, it is hard to argue against that. They have won the tournament twice before in 1994 and 2014. During the 2021 Women's Rugby World Cup, England reached the final. They suffered a 34-31 defeat to New Zealand in the final. However, this time around, England are level above most other teams. During the Six Nations earlier this year, only France managed to get close to the English. But England still won 43-42. England won their other games by 33, 55, 44, and 52 points.
England W - Team News
England boasts a very experienced squad. There are also a few younger players breaking through. Marlie Packer will star with her 110 caps alongside fellow forwards Hannah Botterman and Alex Matthews. In the backline, Emily Scaratt has 118 caps to her name. Their 40-6 win over France in their warm-up heading into the tournament shows the Red Roses are in good form. They will fancy their chances of easily beating an opponent that has not ever gotten close to beating them.

The opening match of the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup will see hosts England face the USA in Group A on Friday. The Red Roses will aim to start their campaign with a win against the Eagles. The USA Women have a big chance to upset England in the World Cup opener, but it won’t be easy. They lost 26-24 to Canada, 27-19 to Australia, and were thrashed 79-14 by New Zealand.
USA W - Team News
The USA comes into this match after a tough 79-14 loss to New Zealand in May, extending their losing streak to six matches. Their last win was in August last year, edging past Japan 11-8. Most of their victories have been narrow wins. However, I don’t expect that in this game. I predict a deflating loss for the USA in their opening match, but they will likely know there are more winnable games ahead.

England W vs USA W Match Prediction
England beat the USA 61-21 when the pair last met in 2024. Before this, England had beaten the USA 47-26, 38-5, 89-0, and 52-14 in a dominant run against their opponents. I’m backing England to easily beat the USA and make a strong statement in game one. My pick is a -53.5 handicap, as the home side racks up the points. The 10th-ranked USA will enter as underdogs. They will face both the Red Roses' excellent form and the loud support of the home crowd. England have been in great form, with a fantastic 26-match winning streak since 2022. Most of these victories have been by impressive margins. While the USA will try hard to put up a strong fight, I expect England to win comfortably, but not by more than 53 points. Our prediction is USA +53.5 handicap points.
