They doubled down, proving that nothing could deter them from their destiny as they scored twice more, firmly securing their coveted title.

A Triumph Beyond Victory

The celebration at Twickenham was unparalleled, with coach John Mitchell earning the much-deserved Coach of the Year 2025 honors after steering the team through their phenomenal journey.
