Ellie Kildunne produced two stunning finishes as England survived a scare to set up a Women’s Rugby World Cup final against Canada by overcoming France 35-17 at Ashton Gate.
World player of the year Kildunne celebrated her return to the side after missing the quarter-finals through concussion by running in the opening try before conjuring the 70th-minute score that confirmed the Red Roses’ place in the main event at Allianz Stadium next Saturday.
