France showed a template on how to get under England's skin. Chaos and unstructure will be key for Canada next week, but the key difference is that Canada are fit and that will be real troublesome next week

England allowed France to play too much today. Scoreline doesn't tell the full story. If they allow Canada that much time on the ball next week I fear the result will be very different.

England head coach John Mitchell, speaking to BBC Sport: "They were awesome. We had to work ourselves out of a difficult situation, where we were not accurate in the first half, but no one really remembers how you win in these tournaments, you just have to win.
"France were always going to fight, they are a special rugby country and they threw everything at us. We were able to break them eventually. I told the girls it would take a long time, and it took longer than we thought."
On Ellie Kildunne: "She was pretty special today wasn't she? If she gets a bit of space, she is phenomenal, isn't she? We had to make a lot of tackles in midfield, and we were very solid there."
On Meg Jones: "She has a massive heart, she is hugely courageous, and she backs up the words she speaks. She's inspirational."
On Canada in the final: "It is going to be a collective plan, the two best teams in the world in the final and that is awesome for the game. Canada are playing great rugby, we are playing very effective rugby, we have had to fight throughout this tournament and it will be a different game at the weekend."

England prop Hannah Botterman, speaking to BBC Sport on Ellie Kildunne: "She played well, didn't she? A few girls could have taken it, but she does score wonder tries, doesn't she but everyone was deserving.
"I have really enjoyed playing these big games. We were excited and we wanted to get this job done, and we have one more massive job to do next weekend.
I wanted to put a marker down, put my best rugby out there and I did that in certain areas but we have a massive week coming up."
On Canada in the final: "No surprise, they have been playing very good rugby, a different style, but we are excited to play them.
"We will fire into this week and hopefully go one further. No celebrations (tonight) - we have not won anything."

England centre Meg Jones, speaking to BBC Sport: "I feel like I am on a massive comedown already, so much elation and I am super proud of the girls.
We fronted up in defence, there is a lot of passion in our defence, we are relentless, and we have earned the right for another week, and we go again.
"In attack we can brush up on a few things, trust the process, but we are super confident going in to next week."

Player of the match Ellie Kildunne, speaking to BBC Sport: "It's insane. I have stolen that (player-of-the-match award) from the rest of the team, all the forwards, the defence they put in I barely had to make a tackle, so I don't know why I have got it!
"The rest of the team do the work, it was insane.
I am buzzing, it is all we have been dreaming of, we will keep our heads down, we know what is coming and you're all going to be excited to watch. I don't know what to say any more!"
