Twickenham - New Zealand have edged England 13-10 in a tense women's World Cup final to win their fourth successive title.

Center Kelly Brazier kicked what proved to be the winning penalty with 14 minutes left on Sunday as England was denied by New Zealand, who had three players sinbinned in the match, for the third final running.

Winger Carla Hohepa opened the scoring with a 33rd-minute converted try, touching down for the seventh time in the tournament for the only points of the first half.

England fly-half Katy McLean and Brazier traded penalties before Charlotte Barras barged over for a 61st-minute try. McLean landed the conversion to level the score but Brazier's late penalty clinched victory for New Zealand.
