Thank you so much for joining me for this semi-final and what a match it was! England march on to the final but who they will face is still up in the air. Join me for New Zealand v France to see who the Red Roses will play, either team will be aiming to end England’s 30-match winning run.

Canada head coach Kevin Rouet said:”I am proud of the girls. It’s about details and England were better than us on details. I think there are more than a few missed opportunities for us… We’ll be back.”

And he added on the bronze medal match: “I think for tonight we will be disappointed but I am confident we will come back to win third place.
