With the pool stage and quarter finals already in the book, England and France are currently away from one match from securing spots in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final.
This weekend’s semi-final clash will see a heavy favorite that appears to dodge the strong French side, where the red roses want to cause agitation. The winner will play either Canada or New Zealand.
Unlike the other semi-finals, the UK and France know each other well. They face each other in six women’s countries every year. England scored 43-42 when they met in April.
There’s everything you need to know ahead of Saturday’s clash.
