ELLIE KILDUNNE declared herself fit for Saturday's World Cup showdown with Canada and insisted the Red Roses will not be cramming ahead of the Twickenham exam.
Their semifinal win against France in Bristol earned England a seventh-straight spot in the final and a 62nd win in their past 63 Tests.
Crucially, the one they lost was against New Zealand in the 2022 climax and everything since then has been geared to this weekend.
They are the undisputed No.1 team, unbeaten in three years and riding the wave of hosting the best-attended Women's World Cup.
And fullback Kildunne revealed there will not be any last-minute revision as England head for their day of destiny in London.
Kildunne, 26, said: “It's a World Cup final, and you don't prepare for a World Cup final in the last week - you prepare over the last three years. Everyone wants to be in that spot and now we are there.
