Overview: England will have home advantage in this game and that will hopefully help the team lift. England will have a fight on their hands when they take on current World Champions New Zealand. England looked a bit under done in their win over the French in the Quarter Finals. The English lads will need to play way better to get home against a talented Kiwi outfit.
New Zealand are the World Champions and will go into this game as favourites. They have a team full of talented players and had an easy run against the Bravehearts in the Quarter Finals. What will go against the Kiwis is their record against England in England is pretty poor. Bad weather will work in England’s favour and could change the whole outcome to this match.
