Rugby World Cup semi-final predictions: Can 'dark horses' Canada stop England; will France upset hosts New Zealand?

Katy Daley-Mclean predicts the Rugby World Cup semi-final results. She thinks England will beat Canada and France will upset hosts New Zealand.

England and Canada are playing in the World Cup semi-final on Saturday at 3.30 am. Sarah Hunter and Sophie de Goede will be the key players in this match. Rachael Burford backs England to reach the final. She thinks Canada will struggle to compete with England's quality. She believes the only way Canada can restrict England is to prevent them from getting a lot of territory. The game plan would be to stop them kicking to the line and using the set piece. England will focus on what they want to achieve. They beat Australia in quarter-finals. It would not be a walk in a park for Canada.

England will beat New Zealand by 35 points in Rugby World Cup semi-final.

France take on New Zealand in Rugby World Cup semi-final on Saturday at 6.30 am. The Black Ferns are enjoying their rugby with the home support behind them. France have conceded the least points so far in the tournament at 21. They beat England 20-3 in their last World cup semi. France's inconsistency could be exposed against New Zealander's style. It will come down to whether they can contain that free-flowing style New Kiwis love to play. New Zeland are unstoppable when they get into their stride. French players have a strong pack and they should be aware of the scrum.

England play Canada in Rugby World Cup semi-finals on Saturday at 3.30am. New Zealand take on France at 6. 30am in the other semi.
