Canada Captain Sophie de Goede Says World Cup Final Loss Still Haunts Her Sleep

Canada rugby captain Sophie de Goede says she still loses sleep over her team's World Cup final defeat to England last year, according to BBC Sport.

De Goede, who led Canada in the final, told BBC Sport that the loss to England continues to affect her, though the outlet's report did not specify the exact score or further details of the match.

The comments come as Canada's women's rugby team looks to build on their World Cup final appearance, which marked a significant achievement for the program even as the defeat to England lingers with the captain.

BBC Sport's report did not include additional context on de Goede's current playing commitments or Canada's upcoming fixtures at the time of publication.

England has established itself as a dominant force in women's international rugby in recent years, and the final result against Canada was reported by BBC Sport as a defining moment for both teams.

Further details on the specific circumstances of de Goede's remarks, including when and where they were made, were not disclosed in the available source material.
