    France 7-14 England

    France are doing lots well but then they needlessly gift England possession.

    Let-off for the Roses.

    This is what the game needs, we want close competitions.

    England now need to make sure they are the next to score.

    Great line!

    England's defence is carved open as Gabrielle Vernier glides through to score France's opening try.

    Lina Queyroi kicks the conversion and it's game on in Bordeaux.

    You look at the conversion rate and England have the best conversion rate of any team, but that is the first time we have seen France play with speed.

    It shows England can be broken, but France have to go through the phases.

    The pre-game rain has remarkably been replaced by glorious sunshine.

    Perfect conditions for rugby now.

    It's France's turn to throw the ball through the hands.

    The noise is deafening and makes it sound like a try is coming with every phase.

    The move eventually breaks down with a knock-on but they will gain confidence from that.

  8. 'Great try from Matthews'published at 17:03 British Summer Time 27 April

    A great try from Alex Matthews.

    Amy Cokayne with the nice little tip and how early England get into shape is causing France so many problems.

    Too easy.

    England's maul keeps on rolling to pen France in and then Alex Matthews is fed for a simple run-in.

    Holly Aitchison adds the conversion and France are yet to turn up to their own party.

    Pauline Bourdon Sansus is one of France's stalwarts.

    Such a smart play throwing the dummy, then she finds a lot space. If the kick stayed in field it would have been a certain try.

    End to end.

    Pauline Bourdon Sansus makes the break for France before clipping the ball into touch deep inside English territory.

    But the visitors hit back and gain valuable yards from a French mistake in the line-out.

    How do France respond?

    Les Bleus are back on the ball and asking questions of the English defence.

    France are being urged on by their incredible home support.

    If you want to know how to play with patience England just showed that.

    A solid line-out and really good decision-making.

    It was coming.

    England bang on the door close to the posts before Maud Muir powers over to grab the first try.

    Holly Aitchison adds the conversion and England are deservedly in front.

    France 0-0 England

    England, not hampered by the rain, throw the ball wide with confidence from their first meaningful attack.

    Marlie Packer carried hard but Assia Khalfaoui welcomes her to Bordeaux with a thumping hit.

    France standing firm for now.

    The worst possible start for the French pack.

    The French do have a strong front row and their scrum has been perfect.

    If France do look for an area to get on top that is where they have to start.

    France 0-0 England

    An early statement by the visitors.

    England win the scrum penalty after a dominant shove and that decision is met by loud cheers by the women in white.

    But all eyes are on the top as France and England face off in a straight shootout for the title and the Slam...
