  2. Canada 5-7 England

    It's been a long time since England have been made to work this hard. What hasn't changed is - give them half a chance and they score.

  3. 'Canada should manage the pressure'

    It's really interesting from Canada that they are going to run the ball out, we know that their kicking is dominant. I think there they should manage that pressure and kick.

    England strip the ball nicely and pin Canada back in their 22. It's high octane.

    Not many teams in world rugby can stop an England driving maul.

    That was a score otherwise. There was a knock-on in the breakdown. Great defence from Canada because England were looking very, very dangerous.

  9. Canada 5-7 England

    England's forwards rumble towards the posts in ominous fashion but the whistle stops them in their tracks. The Red Roses are firing now.

  11. Canada 5-7 England

    When you talk about inspirational figures etc, you have to think of people like Ellie Kildunne. Makes it look so easy, makes it look amazing.

    What a player.

    Oh my gosh that was a wonder try. It was something out of nothing. She just sliced through like she had an invisible cloak on. That step back inside, we've seen it in the semi-final and now today. Wow!

    A lot of people underestimate the upper-body strength of Kildunne.

  16. 'Magic!'

    It is like she is made of magic and she is sprinkling it on the World Cup Final. How does she do it?!

    What a score to restart the party.

    Ellie Kildunne slices though the belly of the Canada defence and strolls it under the posts.

    There was a fax sent to the All Black hotel on the eve of the 1995 Rugby World Cup - 'Remember rugby is a 15-man game. All of you pass it to Jonah.'

    Similar vibes.

    Converted try - Canada 5-7 England

    Ellie Kildunne (con Harrison)

    GOODNESS ME!

    Blimey she scores some good tries. There is nothing much on for England but Ellie Kildunne picks the ball up, goes full Jonah Lomu and drives through a gap that doesn't exist, twisting past two defenders to sprint in for another sensational score!

    Zoe Harrison adds the extras.

    'She has no right get through there' - Kildunne gives England the lead

  19. Canada 5-0 England

    A very impressive opening from the Canadians. England look more weighed down than inspired so far. Just need some territory.

    When you have the pace of Hogan-Rochester there, there is no stopping them.
