Women's RWC, Round 3 refs

England play France

The big match of the pool section of the Women's World Cup, taking place in Edmonton, is between England and France this Friday.

After two years in which France took the honours, England won the Six Nations this year. This is an important match. The winner will probably be the last challenge for the title-holding New Zealanders.
