Star lock De Goede aims to kick Canada to 'next step'

Canada's Sophie de Goede, a forward with impressive goal-kicking skills, aims to make a significant impact in the Women's Rugby World Cup, possibly emulating Australian legend John Eales. De Goede, who has nailed 17 conversions in the tournament, credits her parents, both former World Cup captains, for her leadership skills and rugby development. Despite growing up playing fly-half like her parents, De Goede's transition to forward has allowed her to excel as a goal kicker, showcasing that forwards can possess the necessary temperament and technique for such a crucial role in matches.
