ENGLAND face New Zealand today in the final of the Women's Rugby World Cup in Barcelona confident they have the gameplan to win the trophy.
They reached the final by beating Canada 53-10 on Tuesday, a win that gave them good reason to feel optimistic.
Captain Paula George said: "We will need to step up another gear to win. After all, they are the reigning world champions."
Coach Geoff Richards said: "We've got a plan of attack and we are confident in that, and that in the end it will come good."
