And then there were four! Sara and Ugo reflect on the World Cup quarter-finals in Bristol and Exeter as England, France, New Zealand and Canada all booked their spot in the last four. Did England finally hit top gear at a rain-soaked Ashton Gate? Or were Scotland their own worst enemy as they slumped to another heavy defeat to the Red Roses? Lisa Martin and Kat Merchant reflect on a 31st consecutive win for John Mitchell's side. Ugo is down in Exeter with Claire Thomas and Anna Caplice to pick through a devastating defeat for Ireland who led France 13-0 at half-time. There was also a plenty of controversy as France back row Axelle Berthoumieu was eventually cited for an alleged bite on Ireland's Aoife Wafer.
