That result saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/england\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">England<\/a> extend their winning streak to 63 from their last 64 matches.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you were in York, Bristol, Brighton, Exeter, London or any of the other host cities during the showpiece event, it was impossible to escape the atmosphere of support surrounding the biggest Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup ever.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/spacer-new.png\" alt=\"Video Spacer\" width=\"100%\"\/>Wallabies hooker Billy Pollard and lock Will Skelton have spoken to media from Perth<\/p>\n<p>Will Skelton says there is no point kicking stones over the logistical nightmare that has left him returning to the Wallabies side with the Bledisloe Cup already decided.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/spacer-new.png\" alt=\"Video Spacer\" width=\"100%\"\/>Wallabies hooker Billy Pollard and lock Will Skelton have spoken to media from Perth<\/p>\n<p>Will Skelton says there is no point kicking stones over the logistical nightmare that has left him returning to the Wallabies side with the Bledisloe Cup already decided.<\/p>\n<p>That World Cup will forever hold a place in the history of the women\u2019s game, which continues to reach new heights. With the Red Roses claiming the sport\u2019s top prize on home soil, those who support England had even more to celebrate after the final \u2013 but the event was a win for rugby.<\/p>\n<p>On October 1, 2027, the Wallabies will help kick off their own home World Cup at Perth\u2019s Optus Stadium. While the Australians are focused on this weekend\u2019s Bledisloe Cup clash with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/new-zealand\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Zealand<\/a> at that same venue, Tizzano commented on the Red Roses\u2019 run to glory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a lot of friends in the Wallaroos and first of all, I want to say I\u2019m really proud of them for the way they went and I\u2019m really excited for the future. They\u2019ve got a young team, some awesome players coming through,\u201d Tizzano told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso to see the Red Roses, what a team they are. To see there be a record number for that final for women\u2019s rugby, it\u2019s so cool to see. I think it\u2019s just going to keep getting bigger and bigger and bigger.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the Wallaroos as well, I actually see them on a similar trajectory to the Matildas, so I\u2019m really excited for them. I have a lot of close friends in that team. It\u2019s pretty cool.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo see what the Red Roses can do, that definitely motivates us. When you\u2019ve got all your fans screaming for you, that definitely motivates you a bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There is real buzz about rugby union in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/australia\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Australia<\/a> at the moment, as the Wallabies continue to improve under coach Joe Schmidt. Their Test season started with a last-gasp win against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/fiji\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fiji<\/a> ahead of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/lions\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Lions<\/a> Series and then The Rugby Championship.<\/p>\n<p>Australia defeated the Lions in the third Test, which was held at Sydney\u2019s Accor Stadium, before kicking off their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/the-rugby-championship\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rugby Championship<\/a> campaign with an unforgettable comeback win against two-time defending World Cup champions South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Even last weekend at Auckland\u2019s Eden Park, the Wallabies trailed by two points with 10 minutes to play, before <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/players\/cam-roigard\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Cam Roigard<\/a> all but sealed the win. Eden Park is one of the toughest venues for away teams to visit, but the Aussies put up a real fight.<\/p>\n<p>Two years out from the World Cup, there\u2019s a rapidly improving sense of optimism surrounding the Wallabies\u2019 chances at the event. Tizzano stood next to the Webb Ellis Cup at Perth\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rugbypass.com\/teams\/kings\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kings<\/a> Park, affirming a thirst for World Cup glory that only that prized trophy can quench.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny benchmark for any of those tier one nations is to win it,\u201d Tizzano told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have definitely [been] building the foundations for that over the last while with Joe [Schmidt]. I feel like we\u2019re getting better every single week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really exciting times for Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carlo Tizzano believes the Wallabies can look to the Red Roses\u2019 run to the 2025 Women\u2019s Rugby World&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":182072,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":["post-182071","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-rugby","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182071","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=182071"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/182071\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/182072"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=182071"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=182071"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=182071"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
