Rugby chiefs said on Monday that they had no qualms over England's dominance of the women's game after the Red Roses beat Canada in the World Cup final to extend their unbeaten run to 33 matches.

The tournament host won every match by a comfortable margin — its closest contest was a 35-17 semifinal win over France.
