La troisième-ligne détient actuellement le titre de meilleure marqueuse de la première division féminine Allianz Premiership en Angleterre où elle évolue sous les couleurs des Saracens.
Un retour attendu
Finaliste pour le titre de Joueuse World rugby de l’Année 2022, elle a fait ses débuts internationaux à VII lors du tournoi HSBC France en mai dernier à Toulouse. Son talent a été vital pour l’équipe féminine de rugby à VII du Canada, contribuant à sa qualification pour les Jeux olympiques de Paris 2024 lors de la compétition qui s’est déroulée à Langford en août dernier.
Ce sera la première fois que Sophie de Goede sera accompagnée de Charity Williams, Caroline Crossley et Carissa Norsten à un tournoi international de rugby à VII à Vancouver.
Piper Logan, qui avait participé à son dernier match au Cap en décembre dernier, fait également son retour dans l’équipe canadienne après avoir complètement récupéré d’une blessure.
Beaucoup d’espoir
Pour l’entraîneur en chef Jack Hanratty, cette équipe promet de faire de belles choses à domicile, elle qui plafonne à une triste 8e place au général après avoir manqué de performer sur les trois premiers tournois : une 4e place à Dubaï (battu par la France dans la finale de bronze), une 6e place au Cap et une 7e place à Perth.
« Nous attendons toujours avec impatience l’étape canadienne des World Series, et notre équipe est impatiente de refouler la pelouse du stade de la BC Place et de réaliser une performance dont elle pourra être fière devant notre public enthousiaste », a déclaré Hanratty.
« Chaque joueuse de notre programme, qu’elle soit ou non sur la liste, a travaillé pour aider l’équipe à être performante et à se préparer en vue des Jeux olympiques.
« Nous avons eu un excellent bloc d’entraînement compétitif depuis notre retour de Perth, et nous aurons l’occasion de poursuivre notre préparation aux côtés de la France, de la Nouvelle-Zélande et du Japon au cours de la dernière semaine avant Vancouver. »

Comments on RugbyPass
And they came from behind to win two big games before the final. No one can say what would have happened. Had the boks gone behind the game plan changes and the result may changes. Ifs and ands are irrelevant. The boks won. Neutral critics enjoyed the games they played. Its not a popularity contest. Get over it and move on.
82 Go to commentsI'm happy for the people of SA to get a second WC. And I mean that. I was very disappointed with this man's “stand on the hand” incident with Josh Van Der Flyer (Ireland). Ireland's downfall in the last WC was they did not rotate their first 15 as the head coach probably should have. That said, I'm happy for SA and genuinely hope it lifts the mood in their country. Ireland did beat them in the first match of the tournament. And before the trolls start trolling ….. please don't bother. Etzbeth said recently that the Irish players said after the match “see you in the final”…..this was actually wishing the SA team the best of luck in the rest, the Irish team were not dismissing the AB’s. This is what Etzbeth was implying. But he was wrong. I no longer live in Ireland. But I hope to see them lift that cup before I pass. Anyway, congratulations SA. 👍

9 Go to commentsOh god please help these loosers get over it!!!! You lost. Doesn't matter how many times you dummies are gonna analyse the game, you still lost and we are still Rygby World Champions….get over it, you lost.
82 Go to commentsThe next Willie le Roux. SA are made not to use him.
2 Go to commentsDan has always been as controversial as tea with milk so we were never going to get any definitive answer. So DMac for the win.
9 Go to commentsGoodness. When are the All Blacks and New Zealand commentators going to stop complaining about how they could have won and just try to win next time 😂. In South Africa if you lose you get up and try again. Get over it.
82 Go to commentsHonestly, it doesn’t matter a whole lot. RSA has a ton of experienced talent in its leadership group. I am more interested in who is the new 8 man/8 men and the younger props. The captain may change but the system does not
1 Go to comments“See you in the final” can mean whatever you want it to mean. To me it means that 12 Irish rugby players are a bunch of poeses. See y’all in Pretoria.
131 Go to commentsBen, you are one of the most arrogant and self opionated rugby critics I have ever come across (next to Keohane). I hoped that after SA beating the best ranked teams in the world on their way to the WC (something not done before) that you might have the grace to admit that this is a special team that deserved the accolades coming their way. You have no humility and as has been been already pointed out, merely a troll to attract audience numbers. Count me out in the future.
82 Go to comments‘War of independence’. Such a grand name for a few skirmishes. Where were all the great battles of this ‘war’ ? Smith got goosebumps as he was being emotionally manipulated, another mushroom.
1 Go to commentsFor all those disputing the veracity of Etzebeth’s very public recollections of the Irish players’ comments, I have one question: should we be holding our collective breath in anticipation of a barrage of strenuous denials from the Irish squad? Then again, perhaps not…
131 Go to comments> If the game of rugby is to grow globally, then the rugby Sth Africa play needs to be exterminated. Their performances at World Cup ‘19 & ‘23 were the antithesis to what the game should be. If the World Cup final is the grand spectacle of the game, please no more having to endure the drudgery and insipid ‘style ‘ of play harking back to pre WWII days, where the soulless rugby of the Bok reflected the mindset of a nation. > Gotta agree with Ben Smith, “ the Springboks took the trophy by default, with what might be the most unimpressive escape of all time “.
82 Go to commentsI think Rassie should bring in some new guys and give them a go in these irrelevant games. It’s a chance to blood some guys that might otherwise not get a chance and see if they’re up to it. As for the who’s number 1 dispute? Don’t care. As long as the trophies are brought home, that argument isn’t important. Champions don’t fuss about the could’ve, would’ve, should’ve. They just do, and that for me makes SA and NZ the top dogs. Followed by Ireland and occasionally England.
225 Go to commentsThis is like the “catches win matches" saying in cricket. If ABs were pragmatic and kicked for goal instead of hunting tries, I reckon they win that game with ease. Instead, nearly 6 months later; we have World Rugby's official mouthpiece celebrating their Almost Won the Rugby World Cup trophy. Fine Victory Gentleman! Well-earned!!
82 Go to comments“…the All Blacks nearly won…” is the only phrase you need to concern yourself with relative to this “journalistic” piece. Enjoy your Almost Won the World Cup victory…
82 Go to commentsAw common. Stop winging. There were no errors by officials. It is all recorded. Whose fault was the Cane red card? Or the Savea knock? Maybe the selectors who insisted on making a very average player their captain should be blamed. Something had to give way.
82 Go to commentsThe latest ‘Ireland are arrogant’ attack from one of the two most arrogant rugby nations on earth.
