Overview

• England won 35-17 at Ashton Gate, with tries from Ellie Kildunne (two), Amy Cokayne, Abbie Ward and Meg Jones, to advance to Twickenham.
• England’s victory extended their world-record streak to 32 Tests and booked a seventh consecutive World Cup final.
• Kildunne, back from concussion, was named player of the match and later said her late limp was due to fatigue rather than injury.
• Canada reached the final by defeating two-time defending champions New Zealand 34-19, setting up a No. 1 vs No. 2 showdown.
• France controlled much of the first half but lacked a clinical edge and were shorn of suspended co-captain Manae Feleu and Axelle Berthoumieu plus injured Lina Queyroi and Joanna Grisez.
