Lovely hands and over goes Nassira Konde. They are going to check it. It is all good after no knock on. Morgane Bourgeois drags her conversion wide which would have levelled the game.

France wing Kelly Arbey opens up her legs and makes good metres. Les Bleues have been excellent.

Loved Botterman's celebration after she slipped the pass to Ellie. Saluting when she still has 40 metres to go and a full-back to beat. That really gives an idea of the confidence everyone has in Kildunne's pace and elusiveness.

France's maul is stopped by England. Abbie Ward was central to that. Great defence.
England 7-0 France
Megan Jones gets over the ball and wins the ball back. England try and break from their own half but Ellie Kildunne is pushed out.
England 7-0 France
France fly-half Carla Arbez dribbles through a neat 50:22 kick. That means France get a line-out in England's 22 after kicking it from inside their own half.

If England have a weakness in defence it is in and around the breakdown sometimes. When France play the offloading game it works very well, but when it is wet like today it's difficult to execute it.

England scrum-half Natasha Hunt kicks the ball out on the full. It was under advantage so we come back for another scrum. The Red Roses then get the ball into Ellie Kildunne's hands, who is looking very dangerous.
England 7-0 France
France are looking dangerous with their lethal runners. However, England's defence is standing strong. You can feel the tension.

Hooker Amy Cokayne intercepts a pass but then loses the ball. France race off down the wing and they too then lose the ball. Megan Jones boots it long. It is all happening.

There is a little pocket of French fans trying to rouse their team with a rendition of 'Allez Les Bleues'.
They are quickly drowned out though by a call and response chant of 'England' led by England squad members Lilli Ives Campion and Abi Burton on the drums.
England 7-0 France
Canada head coach Kevin Rouet has been spotted in the crowd. His side play the winner of this game in next Saturday's final at Twickenham.

Anon: The French anthem is worth five points on its own but we've got Ellie Kildunne!

France have responded well and win a penalty for a high tackle by Abbie Ward. They go for the scrum. Interesting....

That was a superbly-timed pass from Hannah Botterman. France were close to turning that over, they didn't quite get there, England had an overlap and they took it.

This is the best of Ellie Kildunne! When she gets that space, the step off the left foot is lovely and it is a great finish.

Even better.
Ellie Kildunne races clear down the wing after a pass from Hannah Botterman. The England full-back easily glides past the final defender to score.
The star of England's backline has not been at her best this World Cup and missed the quarter-final through concussion. Welcome back.

England full-back Ellie Kildunne dances past a number of defenders. That's how you respond to any critics.
England 0-0 France
France go in search of the first try with some strong carries. Hannah Botterman, who missed the quarter-final win because of a back spasm, wins a penalty. The England prop has been a standout performer this tournament.

That ground is slippy. A nervy start from both sides, it is about being deliberate in your actions and the first scrum will set the tone for what is to follow.
