Helena Rowland is such a huge loss to England because she's so versatile and has been one of the standout players of this side. Hopefully she will be fine for next weekend if England make the final.

Helena Rowland is sitting up and doesn't need the stretcher, she leaves the field on a cart and applauds the crowd. That's a positive sign.

Both sides huddle up for some motivational chat as we are in for a lengthy stoppage here. Helena Rowland was wrapped up in a tackle and stayed down. There is a stretcher out on the pitch.

England full-back Helena Rowland is on oxygen down on the sideline. That does not look good.

Uh oh. England full-back Helena Rowland is down and looks to be in a lot of pain.

She is such a reliable player for the Red Roses.

That was a determined, focused opening to the second half from England. They mean business.

Perfect start to the half for England. Another kick bang in front and Emily Scarratt nails it through.

England into their 12th phase - and force a penalty right under the posts which will be kicked.

England's body language is calm, Canada are clapping, hitting their legs, they are pumped. England don't need to panic. They know they have the skills to win the game, but haven't Canada put on a show?

Canada's kicking game looked a struggle into the wind in the first half so let's see how England fare now. They start the half with a long spell of pressure, deep into the Canada 22 already...

Canada are an amateur side and England are professional so you would expect the Red Roses to see this one out on their superior fitness alone.

BUT few would have predicted that half-time scoreline so who knows?

How are your nerves then? England get the second half up and running.

Here come the sides. Massive 40 minutes of rugby incoming.

England have won their last 29 games and need another big showing to reach the World Cup final.

I don't think we'd quite be in Buster Douglas territory if England lose this one, but it would be a pretty big overnight sporting shock to wake up to...

The hosts - and holders - will start as favourites but France have won the last four meetings of the sides, including back-to-back matches last November.

Having dented the aura of the five-time world champions, France coach Thomas Darracq believes his team will not be over-awed when they bid to reach the World Cup final for the first time.

"The match in Eden Park will be unique, because it is a World Cup semi-final, because it is not an autumn tour," he said on Thursday.

"It's a really special moment. Having beaten them gives you that feeling that it's playable. But even if we had lost, it would still be playable. But maybe this gives a little more strength to this group."

Still one match to come today at Eden Park...

Canada made 72 tackles in that first half. Sapping stuff.

That was an intense 40 minutes. Canada are a bunch of very good athletes but they also showed a lot of rugby savvy and scored two very good tries.

And there goes the whistle. What a half! England nick the lead right at the end and how important that could prove to be.

Right in front, just a few metres out. It's a no-brainer for England to kick this penalty and Emily Scarratt slots it over.
