France flyhalf Caroline Drouin missed a last-gasp penalty as defending champions New Zealand claimed a 25-24 classic at Eden Park on Saturday and set up a blockbuster women's Rugby World Cup final against England.
With a shot awarded in front after prop Santo Taumata was yellow-carded for a high tackle, Drouin shanked her last-minute kick left as the Black Ferns made a great escape in front of a roaring crowd.
New Zealand, winners of five of the last six World Cups, meet England in a repeat of the last final in 2017."It was an unbelievable ending, really," New Zealand coach Wayne Smith said.France have never made it to a World Cup decider and will rue a semi-final that got away from them after they did the hard work early.
France finally conceded after Drouin kicked the ball out on the full after the half-hour mark, giving New Zealand a scrum in front of the posts. A human lightning bolt, Tui won a sprint against Emilie Boulard, toed the ball out of the fullback's grasp and chased it down for a try just before the dead-ball line.
