England on the front foot now as they break into the Irish 22 but they lose the ball forward and Ireland will have a scrum and a chance to clear their lines

England get the ball wide and Wilson and Scarratt combine well to make some good ground

Ireland win an early turn over after holding up Joanna McGilchrist in the tackle

Niamh Briggs gets the game under way

Ireland will be hoping for another upset tonight after already beating reigning champions New Zealand in the pool stages

For Ireland it is their first ever appearance in a semi-final and they come up against an England team who have only ever failed to reach this stage of the tournament once. on the last meeting of the teams in the 6 nations England ran out 17-10 winners in a tight game so we can expect a hard fought close encounter this evening.
