After battling to a draw against England, a result that eliminated New Zealand, they pooped the hosts' party, beating France 18-16 in front of a packed Stade Bouin and 2.2 million French television viewers.
"We have the passion, we have the rage, we want it," head coach Francois Ratier said.
As we build up to the final, the vanquished teams from previous rounds are playing out their matches to decide the final placings.
Hosts France have secured third spot with a 25-18 win over Ireland, while Wales have come off on the rough end of a 30-3 scoreline against Australia, leaving them eighth overall.
2010 champions New Zealand have finished in fifth with a flourish, beating the United States 55-5.
After beating Samoa and Spain, 65-3 and 45-5 respectively, in their opening two games, England played out a bruising 13-13 draw with today's opponents Canada in their final group encounter.
A scintillating semi-final performance then put Ireland to the sword 40-7 on Wednesday.
That is a total of 173 points and 22 tries scored across four games.

The last three Women's Rugby World finals have all ended with England floored by an all-conquering New Zealand.
Not today.
The class of 2014 are one match away from glory and less than an hour from kick-off.
And this time it is not the Black Ferns, but Canada, who line up opposite.
