England's 39-Match Winning Streak Halted by Thrilling Draw with Canada

England's remarkable 39-game winning streak in international rugby has come to an end following a nail-biting 26-26 draw against Canada in the WXV Global Series. The Red Roses, who had not lost a match since the 2022 World Cup final, were held by a committed Canadian side at Sandy Park, marking the first time since 2022 that they failed to secure a victory.

Despite the end of their historic run, head coach John Mitchell expressed optimism, stating that the thrilling encounter with Canada will inspire "greater things to come" from the world champions. The draw means England remains undefeated in 40 Tests, but the outcome was a departure from their usual dominant performances, with Canada fully deserving their share of the points after a fiercely contested match.
