The two best women’s rugby teams in the world, No. 1 England and No, 2 Canada, face off Saturday before a sellout crowd of 82,000 at Twickenham’s Allianz Stadium in England. A look at the matchup:

BY THE NUMBERS: A win Saturday and No. 2 Canada will take over top spot in the World Rugby rankings.

That is select company, given only England and New Zealand have reached No. 1 since the rankings were introduced in February 2016.

In the event England’s 32-match win streak ends Saturday, the Red Roses would trade places with Canada and slip to second. Canada would remain No. 2 if it loses.

No. 3 New Zealand and No. 4 France will trade places in the rankings should the French win the third-place game match between the two earlier Saturday.
