The #RedRoses lead 21-8 against Canada at half-time in the #RWC2025Final.

A nervy start for England with Canada going ahead but they've clawed back with three tries, answered only by a De Goede penalty.

Plenty of work to be done yet against a Canada side who just need a spark.

A thoroughly entertaining Bronze Final comes to a close with the Black Ferns running out 42-26 winners over France.

A spirited fight back from the French, but New Zealand just to strong in the end.

A much better second-half for Gloucester-Hartpury but Harlequins still come away victorious from this afternoon's #PWR Cup encounter.

The 1st-half performance did the job for Quins with Gloucester winning the second-half 4 tries to 1.

Harlequins cruising to a home #PWR Cup semi-final as they lead Gloucester-Hartpury 36-0 at the break.

As comprehensive an away performance Quins could have hoped for!

Nicole Wythe sensational on her return from injury so far.

The #RedRoses are heading back to a Rugby World Cup final after a nervy 35-12 win over France in Bristol.

Megan Jones absolutely sensational for England, saving them on a number of occasions across the game.

A repeat of 2014's final awaits next Saturday...

England hold the narrow lead at HT, but France have had them on the ropes for huge portions of the half

The #RedRoses are not playing the conditions well at all and are relying on the likes of Botterman & Jones to bail them out defensively time after time.

Work to do.

England head into the #RWC2025 semi-finals with a 40-8 victory over Scotland.

Miserable conditions in Bristol lead to plenty of handling errors but the Roses never looked threatened till the final moments.

Le Crunch up next...
