Overview
- Semifinals at Ashton Gate: New Zealand face Canada on Friday and England play France on Saturday.
- Canada name an unchanged 23 after routing Australia, with coach Kevin Rouet saying recent results against New Zealand give them belief.
- New Zealand are without injured flanker Jorja Miller, with Kennedy Tukuafu to start at openside and Layla Sae providing impact off the bench.
- England make four changes as Ellie Kildunne returns at full-back, Zoe Harrison starts at fly-half, Hannah Botterman is back at loosehead, and Abbie Ward comes into the second row.
- England carry a long winning run into the last four, while France’s selection is hit by the tournament bans for Feleu and Berthoumieu.
