England vs Samoa Women Preview & Tips - Another big win predicted for England at the Women's Rugby World Cup

Samoa Women were hammered 73-0 by Australia Women in their first game of the 2025 World Cup as the difference in quality between themselves and the rest of the pool was laid bare. 

The pair have only ever met once, with England hammering their opponents 65-3 back in 2014. 

England Women arrived for their own tournament as the favourites to lift the trophy, and they put in a performance that will have every other side nervous. 

The English barely broke a sweat in the match as they won 69-7. Honestly, the home side didn't quite click and play as well as they could, which is testament to how strong the current side is. Importantly, peaking in game one is not ideal, with England likely hoping they will only get better as the tournament progresses, with the home team hitting their peak in the final. 

Samoa will hope to play on any nerves the big favourites might have, but I predict that England will easily beat their opponents in yet another showing of their try scoring abilities. 

Samoa Women know that they face the toughest test of their World Cup campaign this weekend as they tackle the hosts and best team in the women's game. 

Samoa were no match for Australia in game one, and it will worry them that they could not even score a point against their opponents. Samoa are not in the same bracket as Australia, and the quality of opposition skyrockets this weekend in a match Samoa will not win. 

Scoring a point will likely be their target in this one, with England eyeing another massive win.
