England Beats France 35-17 to Reach Women's Rugby World Cup Final Against Canada

England secured a 35-17 victory over France in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final, earning a place in their seventh consecutive final. Ellie Kildunne, returning from concussion, scored two tries and was a standout player alongside tries from Amy Cokayne, Abbie Ward, and Megan Jones. The match was closely contested in the first half, with England leading 7-5 at halftime, but they pulled away in the second half to establish control. England will now face Canada in the final, who upset New Zealand 34-19 in the other semi-final, ending New Zealand's 11-year unbeaten streak at the World Cup. This final will be an opportunity for England to claim their third World Cup title, having previously won in 1994 and 2014. France suffered their ninth semi-final loss in Women's Rugby World Cup history, continuing their streak of falling short at this stage.
