    Former England hooker on BBC One

    Canada have been trying to unlock England but they can't and that is due to England's hard-working defence.

    Watching in Nova Scotia Canada! Been here 20 years now cheering for Canada. Such a great story for the National Women’s Team. There’s still time!

    Just like to give fullsome praise to Brian Moore for his clear explanations of rugby's more complex rules & technicalities. He has enriched this wonderful game we are watching. Thank you BBC.

    Fire up the engraving gun...

    Sarah Bern and Kelsey Clifford, the replacement props, have done a number on Canada, while Lucy Packer has not missed a beat since coming on at scrum-half.

    England's strength in depth coming good.

    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC One

    Alex Matthews was in the 2014 World Cup and she doesn't even look like she's aged. To see her get two today is amazing.

    England have turned up when it's counted. They've stuck to what they're good at and that's the pack. Just use the pack!

    Converted try - Canada 13-33 England

    Alex Matthews

    Surely that is it?!

    A veteran of the 2014 win, Alex Matthews hits the line hard and low and has her second try of the final. Twickenham breathes a collective sigh of relief and Zoe Harrison kicks the extras.

    A HUGE score.

    Proof we are listening from Samarkand, Central Asia. Sound and light show in Registan Square, but no contest to the colourful display at Twickenham. Peter, Uzbekistan.

    Enormous, what a scrum. That was a scrum to make Brian Moore proud.

    The pack just aren't allowing Canada to have any ball. Canada are getting in really good positions where they should score to make this a one-score game. But the pack from England are just denying them everything.

  18. Canada 13-26 England

    England are a smidge over 15 minutes away from being champions of the world again. Likewise, Canada, if they can find a few more tries.

    England are up against it at the moment but are defending immensely.

    Like the away end at Newcastle, that picture. England's sin bin is over and Hannah Botterman is back with us.
