So England Vs Canada in the final after France gave us a real test.

Jones was exceptional in the centres and probably deserved to be potm but Kildunne is such an wonderful ball carrier that it's hard to look elsewhere when she scores a try like that 2nd.

I missed both semis due to being at a music festival.

However I’ve read some pundits advocating dropping Breach, Heard and Mo.

Jess Breach must have really gone off the boil, because she had a great start to the tournament.

With Meg Jones playing so well, England could go a bit more expansive by replacing Heard.

Leaving Mo out would be a big call, but given she’s 35 it might be better to start Packer and hold back Mo’s experience for the final 30

Two terrific semi-finals.

France must feel like they missed their chance in the first-half with all the half-breaks they had when they were on top.

She struggled with the pace of the game and how aggressive France were at the breakdown, in the first half, I think it'd be the right call. After that I'm not sure on the other 2, Breach just never really got into the game and Heard was a victim of the messy play inside her as much as playing poorly herself.

True, but to counter that England really should've had 2-3 more tries ourselves, we made a lot of mistakes in the 22.
