As the world No.1 ranked side, and with their 30-game winning streak to protect, the expectation lies heavy on the Red Roses to reach their seventh Rugby World Cup final, but a very good Canadian team will have something to say about that. Both have a strong physical aspect to their gameplay and many will be expecting this to come down to a competition of which pack has the edge, but there are dangerous runners on both teams that the backs will need to look out for.
The other side of the competition feels like anyone's guess. The French have beaten New Zealand before but they haven't quite looked like a team capable of that in the competition so far, and to best the Black Ferns on their own patch will be tricky. But, of course, the nature of France is that they are capable of raising their game when it counts. It's going to be a nail-biter.
