What time is New Zealand v England Women's Rugby World Cup ... (WalesOnline)

The Red Roses face the Black Ferns in the World Cup final in New Zealand: here's the start time, how to watch it, team news and referee details.

She will become the first woman to have refereed Rugby World Cup finals in both sevens and 15s, in the space of 62 days. Not since July 2019, and a 28-13 defeat to New Zealand, have Middleton's side failed to win a Test match. They had five wins over Australia and four against Canada, with France, Scotland, Germany, the United States, Samoa and a World XV their other victims. Their overall record reads 1,405 points scored and only 247 conceded, a per-match average of 46.8 to 8.2. They have never lost to England in a World Cup final in four meetings. We've got the best team probably of all time at the weekend. Very rarely in life do you get an opportunity to be the best you can be or try and achieve the ultimate and test yourself. Middleton has also elected to start Holly Aitchison at inside centre in place of Tatyana Heard, who is among the substitutes. To lose in front of your home crowd is a tough gig. England were undoubtedly the favourites long before this tournament kicked off, but New Zealand have been in scintillating form too and are likely to give England their biggest challenge in recent years. So the pressure on them is absolutely massive. England head coach Simon Middleton has made five changes to the line-up that beat Canada in the semi-final.
