Courtney Bruce is cheeky.

She is quite sneaky and always looks to see what she can get away with against the goal shooters.

She is dogged, works really hard around the circle and the shooters. She is known for coming out of the circle and getting that key interception, very high in the goal third.

All eyes will be on the shooters today, I reckon.

Layla Guscoth v Steph Wood at one end; Guscoth has been solid in the England defence but Wood has carried this Australia team through some tough moments at this tournament.

And at the other end, Courtney Bruce v Eleanor Cardwell. A feisty one when they have faced each other in the Super Netball League this year and certainly one to keep an eye on.

England are riding on the back of beating the world number one and number two already in this competition, which they had never done before.

Making history in this final, it is theirs for the taking.

Immediate turnover for the Diamonds to get an early lead off the Roses' centre pass.

Some nerves that will need to settle.

Away we go in an historic World Cup final.

Hold your breath, cross your fingers. Let's do this.

Here we go, the anthems are being belted out. Lots of happy faces in the England squad as they line up for this historic moment.

They've already made history by reaching the final, can they go one better?

So, what do we think people?

England to end the Australia and New Zealand dominance? Or the Aussies to be more clinical than Thursday and get the job done?

I honestly can't call it, but let me know what you think by getting in touch on twitter or dropping us a text.

Plus, let us know where you're watching! A Netball World Cup party? In your local? Behind the sofa?

Get in touch!

If you're new to netball and just jumping on the bandwagon after seeing England's superb performances out in Cape Town, we've got you covered.

Before the tournament started, BBC Sport spoke to co-captains Nat Metcalf and Layla Guscoth to get the inside track on their team-mates.

Former England head coach Tracey Neville speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I've been out here in South Africa following the team all the way through the tournament and they have been building all the way through.

"They haven't lost a quarter all tournament, they haven't lost a game. and you just think, going into a history-making World Cup final, anything can happen.

"This team, there is character and fun there, but they are out there to do a job, and have been truly outstanding so far."

Geva Mentor has done it all, [in the studio] we were laughing saying she has outplayed us all!

When I was playing for the England U21 squad she was brought in as a 14, 15-year-old to train with us and that was a long time ago.

To think what she has achieved, I think she has been a real trailblazer for athletes in this country.

She started [professionally] at 16 and is nearly 40 years old now, still flying and playing at the very top of the game.

Former England head coach Tracey Neville, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live: "What's happening now with the England Roses is that they are trying to retain some amount of experience going into each competition, and the next competition after [and so on].

"Geva Mentor was 16 years old when she made her debut, I was actually playing in that game. It's so surreal when I see her [now], because I was there for her first one, and I'm going to be there for her last one as well, with her retiring after this tournament.

"Having retained some of those players coming into this competition has really helped, but also blooding in the new ones. Eleanor Cardwell, [who] had a fantastic season out in Australia, this is her first World Cup. I remember her telling me out there: 'I just want to win a medal with England, Tracey,' and I said: 'Well, you're going to get a nice colour one this time around.'

"You've got that new blood coming through and then that old blood there to give you that level of experience which is so vital in the make-up of your team. "

Today we also say goodbye to the legend that is Geva Mentor from international netball. She will be retiring after this World Cup, making today's match her last one with the Roses.

Six World Cups, 174 caps and many, many memories.

Fans of the Super League will be seeing a lot of Mentor in the coming season as the veteran announced she will play for Leeds Rhinos in 2024.

But in the red dress, it's goodbye. And thank you Geva!

Australia aren't world number one by accident. They are so diligent and clinical when they have the ball.

Their daily training is at such a high level, they are outstanding. And the expectations that they put on each other just takes them to that next level.

They are a force to be reckoned with in world netball.

England will take confidence from the fact that they took an historic win over Australia in the pool phase - the first time England had beaten them at a World Cup.

But the Diamonds will want revenge for that loss and the Roses will be aware that there's nothing more dangerous than an angry Australia side.

In theory, that win meant nothing. Except of course pride.

Today is a little different.

Former England head coach Tracey Neville speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about opponents Australia: "The Australia side that England faced the other day, I've never seen them like that, not as clinical.

"The Roses did so well defensively to put pressure on them to make mistakes.

"Yesterday they were up against a very tough outfit in Jamaica and they came out and really nailed them. Their mid-court is where they needed to improve and I think that is where they won the battle against Jamaica.

"You don't become world number one and world champions multiple times without having that experience and learning behind you.

"I think the battle will be won in the shooting ends. We'll just have to wait and see which shooters can get on top of their defenders early and get the goals."

Here's how both teams secured their place in the final.

England with a 46-40 win over New Zealand and Australia with a 57-54 victory over Jamaica.

England Netball CEO Fran Connolly, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "This is absolutely huge for world netball. We have absolutely shaken up the world order already.

"We came to Cape Town with an ambition of making our very first final and making history, and we have done just that.

"It is huge for the sport. I think it is absolutely huge for the growth of the global game. And we can't wait to go and see out that final later today.

Earlier, Jamaica pipped defending champions New Zealand to win the the bronze medal with a 53-45 victory.

It is the first time the Silver Ferns have never won a medal at the tournament.

They have struggled since Grace Nweke was ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury earlier this week but Jamaica have been the in-form team at this World Cup and deserve to come away with a medal for their efforts.

Are we truly seeing a shift in the world order?

England Netball CEO Fran Connolly, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "I think we have managed ourselves well throughout this tournament, carefully managed the whole team, everyone has had lots of game time, so we have managed load.

"So I think we will be well prepared. As I said, we have been preparing four years for this moment, and we don't want to let it slip through our fingers."

"Yesterday was a nerve-wracking day. It took me a few hours to come back down to earth after that win [over New Zealand] and I certainly didn't get much sleep last night, but I know the whole netball nation is behind us.

"Here in Cape Town we have had some fabulous support and back home, and the Roses want to go and inspire a nation.

"We've seen what a tremendous job some of the other women's sports have done in recent years, and we want to go one further. We want to keep growing the game back in the UK. "

There are so many great stories in this England side.

Geva Mentor and Jade Clarke competing at their sixth and last World Cup. Liv Tchine and Funmi Fadoju, rising stars of the sport, competing in their first. Chelsea Pitman returning to netball and getting back in the England side against all odds. Layla Guscoth, captaining her side to the final after being ruled out of the 2019 tournament when she injured her ACL.

That's just to name a few.

All have played their part in a World Cup campaign which has seen the Roses secure seven wins out of seven, including scalps against the Diamonds and the Silver Ferns - the world's number one and two sides, respectively.

Can they complete a perfect tournament in Cape Town?
