    England's defence is suffocating as New Zealand attempt to fight their way out of their half.

    And then comes a penalty and of course it was Packer at the heart of it.

    Here comes another line-out...

    Hartley on that first try: That was a brilliant option. England hit the tail of the line-out. That gives England options to roll the maul either way and forces New Zealand to defend both possibilities.

    A clever forwards try.

    I am speechless.

    This came from a New Zealand mistake as they kicked the ball out in the England 22 - giving the hosts a line-out.

    This time England opted to shift the ball wide and Kildunne dots down. New Zealand look stunned.

    Here we go again...

    England have tasted points and they want more! Rowland is having a great game so far, adding another break, and a huge kick from Infante puts the ball in the England 22.

    England had to come back for the earlier penalty and they opted for the corner. A huge maul and Cokayne dots down.

    That was a spectacular play from the hosts and looked as though it came straight off the training pitch.

    Harrison adds the extras.

    Marlie Packer is the queen of turnovers! What a huge moment as New Zealand had all the momentum.

    England then launch an attack, Rowland makes two huge breaks. England have the advantage as they urge attack on...

    This was the Black Ferns pre-match haka. Spin-tingling stuff....

    England 0-0 New Zealand

    And that is huge for New Zealand!

    Sarah Bern is pinged for an early engage and so we scrum again but this time NZ have the put in.

  9. Black Ferns line-out successpublished at 4 mins

    England 0-0 New Zealand

    New Zealand win their first penalty of the match - given away by Thompson.

    They kick upfield for the first line-out and it's successful - much improved from the set-piece last week.

    However, for all the good England win a penalty and have a put in at the scrum.

    England 0-0 New Zealand

    Maybe some nerves in the opening phases here.

    New Zealand's Woodman fumbles with ball with her first touch, it goes backwards and so the Black Ferns continue their attack.

    A grubber kick goes through but is collected well by England who set off on their first attack.

    Poppy Cleall let out a big sigh before walking over to face the haka and we can see why!

    The haka is as impressive and intimidating as always. The stage is set, kick-off is imminent.

    My challenge for England is that they have this number one tag. And it is very different defending that rather than chasing it. There is a difference in a body language as the teams came out.

    England came out smiling, New Zealand were very business like. I hope they won't get caught napping.

    The Black Ferns were met with applause but England's arrival have raised the metaphorical roof!

    Cleall looks a natural captain as she runs out for the first time.

    Matt Dawson said last weekend's match was "a real eye-opener" for people who should watch more women's rugby.

    The sun is shining here in Northampton so I reckon we're in for another excellent game. Hopefully a few more heads will be turned.

    England showed professionalism last week. It was a superb performance. Their young players stood up. New Zealand looked rusty and had nine debutants in their team last week and they have some big players coming back in.

  17. "Woodman best player in the world"published at 14:32 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    England v New Zealand (14.45 GMT)

    New Zealand head coach Glenn Moore said on BBC Two: "We were disappointed [last week]. Players and coaching staff were disappointed. We got a lesson last week.

    "I believe Woodman is the best player in the world. She's one person and we have to play the game right across the park."

    It will be interesting to see how Woodman goes, especially as it's her first 15s match since 2017 - another cracking stat.

  18. "The team is 100% ready"published at 14:28 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    England v New Zealand (14.45 GMT)

    Speaking on BBC Two, Poppy Cleall said: "It's crazy [being captain]. Walking in I saw Katy Daley-Mclean and Emily Scarratt, it's such a privilege to be named England captain.

    "Me and [Sarah Hunter] had some advice. There are so many things you don't think about! I hope I do it justice.

    "The team is 100% ready. We've been training all summer long.. we're hoping to put that out on the pitch again today."

  19. "I nearly fell off my chair. I didn't even think about it being an option"published at 14:23 Greenwich Mean Time 7 November 2021

    England v New Zealand (14.45 GMT)

    Speaking of Poppy Cleall's captaincy achievement, Becky Grey caught up with the No. 8 earlier this week to speak about her reaction to being given the role.

    She has been instrumental in the growth of women's rugby. From campaigning to letting her skill on the pitch do the talking, the captaincy felt inevitable.

    Read about her reaction to being named captain and more here.
