England 18-0 Brazil
A shot across the bows for England there - Brazil will fight them all the way today and can punish sloppiness and missed tackles.
Just before, Brazil made the first two of their eight interchanges. Trying to keep fresh amid this hard defensive work.

St Helens and England half-back on BBC Two
A great attacking set by Brazil, that's probably a bit of a shock to the England girls.
England 18-0 Brazil

Courtney Winfield-Hill, converted by Tara Stanley
Brazil simply cannot handle England in the ruck, constantly ceding possession to the hosts.
They cannot deal with the England pace either - out of the blue, Winfield-Hill bursts through the line from deep for try number four.
She scored under the posts, allowing a simple conversion to get Tara Stanley on the board.
England 12-0 Brazil

England head coach Craig Richards talked about Courtney Winfield-Hill bringing an air of unpredictability to the halves when he spoke at the tournament launch in York on Friday.
That was a perfect example of the qualities that the Australia-born sportswoman has in her locker.

Andrea Dobson
Former England captain on BBC Two
She (Winfield-Hill) has shown that all season - she's a quality player. She's got a running game, a kicking game, and she's a leader.

It won't matter today, but these missed kicks are an issue for England to sort later in this tournament.
They won't have such a margin for error against Australia or New Zealand.
Courtney Winfield-Hill
Superb score!
Courtney Winfield-Hill bounces off one tackler, evades another and hands off a third before going over. Best try of the game so far.
Tara Stanley's conversion hits the post! She's getting closer, but is zero from three from the tee.
'She's got the pace' - Winfield-Hill extends England's lead
England 8-0 Brazil
Brazil may be struggling to bring quality rugby league to this game so far, but they have brought superb quality fans.
The sounds of samba drums echoing around Headingley. You love to hear it.
England 8-0 Brazil
Amy Hardcastle almost through again, but she gets caught in two minds whether to pass when she probably should have driven for the line, and gets brought down.
If nothing else, her pink hair is fabulous.

Brazil are struggling to find any ground. They just need to complete a set to get some confidence.

England 8-0 Brazil
Great grubber kick by Georgia Roche, it is just half a bounce too quick for Caitlin Beevers and hits the flag on the try line before the England woman can grab it to touch down.
England 8-0 Brazil
England are almost through again, but Amy Hardcastle slightly rushes it and passes forward.
They can calm down and take their time here, chances will come readily.

Brazil, unsurprisingly in only their third ever international, are really struggling to deal with the carry and physicality of the England team.
Craig Richards side are just punching holes in their opponent's defensive line every time they come forward. This could be a tough day at the office for Brazil.
England 8-0 Brazil
Eight minutes, eight points.
Any early predictions for final score? Triple figures?
Tara Jane Stanley
England pick apart Brazil after gaining a penalty for the Amazonas being over physical, and their No 1 goes over.
She was able to cut inside to give herself a marginally easier kick - almost taking it over the dead ball line - but the 2022 Woman of Steel hasn't got her radar on point yet and puts it wide again.
England 4-0 Brazil
Some huge tackles going in from Brazil, they know they cannot compete with England technically but have a chance physically.
England will be wary of early tournament injuries.
