England vs. France: How to watch Women’s Rugby World Cup semifinal

With the pool stage and quarterfinals already in the books, England and France are now one match away from securing their spot in the Women’s Rugby World Cup final.

This weekend’s semifinal clashes will see heavy favourites the Red Roses look to fend off a strong France side who will be eager to cause an upset. The winner will play either Canada or New Zealand, who are in the other semifinal this weekend.

Unlike the other semifinal, England and France know each other well: They face each other every year in the Women’s Six Nations — England won 43-42 when they met in April — and they even faced in their final warm up game before this tournament, although that ended in a much more convincing 40-6 England victory.

Here is everything to know ahead of Saturday’s clash.

Key details and kick-off time

When: Saturday, Sept. 20 at 3.30 p.m. BST (12.30 a.m. AEST)
