Canada backed up their landmark win with a 31-22 victory in Ottawa, leaving England with consecutive defeats for the first time in 10 years.
Canada have done it twice. A week after ending England's unbeaten run, the hosts beat the Red Roses 31-22 in Ottawa at WXV, and England have now lost two in a row for the first time in a decade.
The result makes the first win look like more than a one-off. England have lost just three of their last 74 matches, so a repeat defeat on the road is remarkable, and Canada earned it by turning a statement win into a pattern.
The timing adds to the story. England beat Canada in the 2025 World Cup final, and in about a year the Canadians have gone from beaten finalists to the side that exposed the world's most consistent team. That kind of progress is hard to ignore.
It may be early to talk about 2029, but if Canada keep improving at this rate they will be a serious contender for the World Cup trophy. England, meanwhile, face real questions about how to respond after a rare run of setbacks, and the rest of world rugby has noticed.
