Rugby World Cup: England centre Emily Scarratt’s journey through four finals

During the 12 years between Emily Scarratt's first World Cup final and her fourth, one thing has remained constant - her desperation to win it.

She hopes to win her second world title on Saturday when she plays New Zealand in the decider.

Scarratt has lost to the Black Ferns before.

The landscape of women's rugby has changed a lot since the first defeat in 2010.

Scarratt's 2010 final shirt is special because players had to give them back because of the lack of kit funding.

Four days after England's semi-finals, the match was played at the home of English rugby, where more than 13,000 people watched the game.

The game between the Red Roses and the All Blacks will take place at the sold-out Eden Park.

Scarratt is the face of those developments. It's clear to the 32-year-old what matters most.

If it meant we came away with what we've come here for, she would play on a park out the back.

'I never wanted to feel like 2010 again'

Scarratt's cut was the deepest.

She made her debut for England in 2010 at the age of 20.

England lost to New Zealand in the final of the World Cup for the third year in a row.

She says that she was happy to be there.

I didn't know at the time that I hadn't done all the work I was supposed to. I didn't want to feel that way again.

Scarratt had her breakthrough moment in the sport four years later and went on to become the figurehead.

Scarratt scored a late try and converted it to put England out of Canada's reach.

It was a new world.

There was a photo opportunity with Daniel Radcliffe after the rugby players appeared on The One Show.

Scarratt was part of the team that finished fourth at the Rio Olympics.

She came back in time for the World Cup.

New Zealand came back from a halftime deficit to beat England 41-32 in the final of the Rugby World Cup.

"I think it's going to be a big year in terms of how much we learned from that," Scarratt said.

Next weekend will be the real test of how much we've learned. It was difficult to take.

We couldn't get a handle on it. We didn't deserve to win it but we have to find a way to be the best team.

England seek to break Black Ferns curse

The World Cup final between England and New Zealand goes back to 2002.

The Red Roses have never been able to beat the Black Ferns at their best.

England lost the World Cup final in 2010 after beating New Zealand.

England lost the World Cup final two months after winning it.

England defeated New Zealand twice in November.

A Lionesses-style Trafalgar Square celebration is expected if they turn their finals fortunes around.

That doesn't matter to Scarratt. She has played in three World Cup finals and won one.

She says that they beat them in the years after the World Cup.

If I said it wasn't a big driving force, I would be lying. Being in two of the biggest games and losing both of them is hard to take.

You just want to win the World Cup. You don't pay much attention to who is in front of you. You don't pay much attention to where it is.
