England's Women's Rugby World Cup-winning Red Roses will host a trio of high-profile fixtures in September as part of the new WXV Global Series. They will face Canada on September 19th at Sandy Park in Exeter, a rematch of their 33-13 World Cup final victory. The Red Roses will also host Australia at the CorpAcq Stadium on September 12th and take on New Zealand at Twickenham on September 26th. Canada and New Zealand are both six-time World Cup winners, making these matches significant tests for England's title defense.

Captain Megan Jones expressed excitement about the Black Ferns fixture, calling it 'not a lot better than a Red Roses v Black Ferns game'. Sale Sharks hooker Amy Cokayne highlighted the opportunity to host Australia in the north west. These fixtures mark England's first matches since their World Cup triumph five months ago.
