<p>England have played host to the 2025 Women’s Rugby World Cup tournament and have been dominant throughout.</p> <p>They will come up against France on Sunday, September 21, at 00:30 AEST when the two nations play for a place in the final, where they will meet either New Zealand or Canada, two teams that have also been very dominant in this year’s competition.</p> <p>England are the number 1 nation in women’s rugby, while France are ranked 4, thus providing plenty of intrigue for bettors ahead of this contest…</p> <h2>France W vs England W Betting Preview</h2> <p>France have shown strong form with recent victories and are known for elevating their performance on big occasions.</p> <p>This has been highlighted in past meetings between the two sides. In a warm-up earlier in 2025, England beat France 40-6, but a Six Nations encounter earlier this year was much closer, with France narrowly losing 43-42 in an absolutely thrilling finish.</p> <p>Throughout this year’s competition, France have managed to beat Italy (24-0), Brazil (84-5) and South Africa (57-10), before coming through against Ireland in a close-fought encounter in the quarter-finals (18-13).</p> <p>For England, it’s been a bit more of a stroll. The Red Roses have beaten the USA (69-7), Samoa (92-3), Australia (47-7), and Scotland 40-8 in the quarter-final.</p> <p>Wings Kelly Arbey and Joanna Grisez are worth keeping an eye on in this game, as they have scored tries for France against England in the past. Meanwhile, Pauline Bourdon-Sansus is arguably the best scrum-half in the women’s game.</p> <p>Still, England may call upon the World Player of the Year, Ellie Kildunne, as she is expected to return from a hamstring injury. They were also boosted by the return of captain Zoe Aldcroft in their game against Scotland, and she should have an influential role on the field once again.</p> <h2>France W vs England W Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/rugby-union/womens-rugby-world-cup/france-w-v-england-w-9627474">betting odds for France W vs England W</a> has the Red Roses as the heavy favourites to win this encounter.&nbsp;</p> <p>While a tighter game is expected than any of those to have been played by the Red Roses so far, they have won all of their matches so far by a points margin of more than 40 points. This one isn’t likely to be as high as that, but it makes the handicap market worth considering.</p> <p>The ‘England W (-22.5)’ looks a good value bet in this one, as they have the players that are capable of dominating the French. With Kildunne and Aldcroft available, the Red Roses should be very attacking in this game.</p> <p>As an extension of this bet, we’d expect there to be ‘Over 38.5’ total points in this game, with both nations looking to rack up a score. With Pauline Bourdon-Sansus, Kelly Arbey and Joanna Grisez likely to be aggressive early in addition to England’s stars, we can expect plenty of tries in this match.</p>
