‘Gutted but we’ve nothing to lose now’ – Wales plot Canada upset

Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025: Wales vs. Canada

Salford Community Stadium Date: Saturday, August 30 Kick-off: 12:00 BST

Wales will have “nothing to lose,” according to Kelsey Jones, and they must support themselves when they take on Pool B favorites Canada in the Rugby World Cup.

Wales lost to Scotland in their opening game 38-8, which implies that they must likely face the world’s second-best team next if they want to advance to the quarter-finals.

With their 66-point victory over Fiji, Canada has already set a new record.

It’s just pure disappointment and frustration right now, according to Jones, a Welsh hooker.

“We’re absolutely devastated, but this is a fantastic opportunity to reflect.”

With Canada tipped to lead the pool, Scotland vs. Wales was supposed to be the decisive game between both teams.

Scotland produced an impressive six-try display of solidarity against a pitiful Wales despite their off-field issues involving player contracts.

According to Jones, “That was our cup final, that’s how we saw it.”

On Saturday, Wales travel to Salford Community Stadium to face Canada, and Jones sees this as a chance for them to come back.

She said, “We have things to look forward to, we’re playing in a World Cup, and what an occasion it is.”

We’re really looking forward to having the chance to play rugby at least twice more because “you never know what can happen, it depends on who shows up on the day.”

We are aware that they will be a significant challenge because of their physical nature.

We say “we’re going to be a hard team to beat,” but we didn’t, and now I think we have an opportunity to demonstrate that.

After their performance, some fans were critical of Wales, but Jones has urged them to continue supporting them.

We adore your support and our desire to inspire the next generation. We take great pride in making sure we see people after the game, she said.
