England 35-17 France - highlights

It was getting on for 10pm when Alex Tessier made her first mistake of Friday evening.

The Canada captain had been immaculate in her team's semi-final win over New Zealand, but sitting in front of the press afterwards she was asked about the week's build-up to the final.

"We'll review and reassess tonight's win and then quickly focus on England," she said.

Her head coach Kevin Rouet leaned over to whisper that the other semi-final was still to be played.
