Breach, Matthews Return for Red Roses vs. Canada as Mitchell Rings Changes As the Red Roses prepare to face Canada in the first of three WXV Tests, head coach John Mitchell has made nine changes to his starting lineup.
Jess Breach returns to the right wing, a position she occupied during England's dominant win over Canada in the 2025 Women's Rugby World Cup final.
This decision speaks volumes about Mitchell's priorities: after a convincing victory, there's no need to tinker with success. However, it also raises questions about the Red Roses' long term strategy.
