News summary

England secured a 35-17 victory over France in the Women's Rugby World Cup semi-final, extending their world-record winning streak to 32 matches and advancing to face Canada in the final at Twickenham. Ellie Kildunne, returning from concussion, scored two crucial tries and showcased her pace and skill, although she was forced to limp through the final minutes due to a leg injury. The match was physically demanding, with France applying strong pressure and dominating possession for much of the first half, keeping the score close at 7-5 at halftime. England's resilience and tactical play, including key contributions from Amy Cokayne, Abbie Ward, Megan Jones, and Hannah Botterman, helped them pull away in the second half. Despite challenges and a tough French defense, England's experience and individual brilliance, especially from Kildunne and Jones, ensured their place in their seventh consecutive World Cup final. The final promises to be a competitive encounter against a formidable Canadian side led by Sophie de Goede, marking a highly anticipated showdown.
