IRB Womens Rugby World Cup kicks off tomorrow. I have already bought tickets to the final at Stade Jean Bouin, which should be excellent with three games back to back leading into the final.
Black Ferns again looking strong, France are looking very business like and as 6nations champs will be hoping to make the semi's. England will be nervous about their recent form but should be too strong for most opposition, and Ireland will be confident of a top 4 finish.
All pool games, played at the Centre National de Rugby, Marcoussis which I can say from experience is an incredible place to play :
Bit disappointing some of the games overlap. SkySports are showing it in the UK, IRB are streaming it world wide (geo-blocked for countries where the rights have been sold)
I expect England, Canada, New Zealand, Australia to all get through their matches comfortably.
France vs Wales should be a humdinger, and the USA vs Ireland game should be interesting.
