On Saturday, world number two Canada face Australia, with Wallaroos looking to make the semi-finals for the first time since 2010. However, they face a stern challenge against a Canadian side that have looked powerful and assured throughout the tournament.

A day later, focus turns towards a rival clash between England and Scotland. The Red Roses remain the firm favourites to win the tournament on September 27th, but Scotland – who have never made the World Cup semi-finals – will be determined to create history against the odds.

Expect drama, excitement and high-intensity rugby as two of the world’s most well-known sides go head-to-head. Ashton Gate will also host both semi-finals on September 19th and 20th.
