After England’s 3-1 win over World Cup co-hosts Australia in Wednesday’s semi-final, it sets up Sunday’s World Cup final against Spain and confirms the teams for Saturday’s third place play-off.

That match for the bronze medal will see Australia take on Sweden - who lost their semi-final in dramatic late fashion against Spain on Tuesday.

It will take place in Brisbane with a 9am kick-off Irish time.

Sunday’s World Cup Final has an 11am kick-off Irish time from Stadium Australia.
