France hit back in the second half with two successive tries.

Annie Ciifani scores to put in the dying seconds of the game to put France in their first ever World Cup final.

Defending champions New Zealand had to work hard in the second cup semi final trailing hosts USA 12-14 at half time.

Two tries in the second half secured the Kiwis a berth in the final.
