  1. France 36-0 Brazil

    France nab possession back and then a botched interception attempt gives the Europeans a scrum a few yards out.

  2. France 36-0 Brazil

    Brazil are getting some rare time on the ball. Although they're nowhere near France's danger area.

  3. try

    Try - France 36-0 Brazil

    Marine Ménager

    Marine Ménager is the next French player to get on the scoresheet.

    A brilliant reverse offload from Emilie Boulard sets up the French captain to score on the break. Too good.

  4. France 31-0 Brazil

    Brazil are ranked 25th in the world. They're a good few levels below France who have played superbly and have already gained 500 metres this match.

  5. France 31-0 Brazil

    Just Can't Get Enough by Depeche Mode is playing over the loudspeakers.

    The DJ wants more tries!

    Try - France 31-0 Brazil

    Annaëlle Deshayes

    This score is getting ugly!

    Prop Annaëlle Deshayes crashes over right under the posts.

  7. France 26-0 Brazil

    France aren't deterred by that disallowed try. Again they go right up to Brazil's try line.

  8. Disallowed try

    France 26-0 Brazil

    It's ruled out!

    There was head-on-head contact at the ruck caused by a French player.

    "It's glancing only" says the ref so there's no yellow card, just a Brazil penalty.

  9. Try review

    Hang on, they're checking it.

    "VAR, VAR" chant one or two Brazil fans.

  10. try

    Try - France 31-0 Brazil

    Marie Morland

    Every attack is turning into a France try!

    The Blues slice through Brazil's defence allowing Marie Morland to go over for her second try on debut.

  11. France 26-0 Brazil

    Karl Te Nana
    Former New Zealand winger on BBC iPlayer

    This French outfit came into this under a lot of pressure, had an up and down game last week but this week they are a lot more cohesive.

  12. try

    Try - France 26-0 Brazil

    Kelly Arbey

    France just keep on coming!

    From a scrum Pauline Bourdon Sansus kicks the ball in behind and Kelly Arbey races on to it to finish in the corner.

    Four tries in 16 minutes.

    Arbey does some fantastic work but there she is - welcome back, Pauline Bourdon Sansus.

    They look like they are on a mission today.

  14. try

    Try - France 21-0 Brazil

    Pauline Bourdon Sansus, con Lina Queyroi

    France are on fire! Emilie Boulard makes this try, breaking through Brazil's defences and eventually the ball is shipped out to winger Pauline Bourdon Sansus who finds a nice angle to run round and score.

  15. France 14-0 Brazil

    Oh dear, this doesn't look good! Brazil's Leticia Silva races forward but ends up twisting her knee in a dodgy tackle.

    Time stops, but even after a visit from the magic sponge Silva can't continue. She's leaving the pitch in tears.

  16. France 14-0 Brazil

    Karl Te Nana
    Former New Zealand winger on BBC iPlayer

    The forwards are running into holes, these offloads are brilliant and the ball is lightning quick from the breakdowns.

  17. France 14-0 Brazil

    Brazil haven't been able to catch a breath. France almost get in behind again as a forward breaks the line, but the ref spoils the fun by calling for an infringement.

  18. try

    Try - France 14-0 Brazil

    Marie Morland, con Lina Queyroi

    Floodgates = opened.

    France try something a bit different with a cheeky, low kick in behind and Brazil fail to deal with the danger, allowing Marie Morland to scoop up and cross under the posts.

  19. try

    Try - France 7-0 Brazil

    Émilie Boulard, con Lina Queyroi

    The pressure pays off!

    France go up the middle and some quick, slick offloads stick really nicely before the Blues switch left allowing Émilie Boulard to cross unopposed.

    That was easy!

  20. France 0-0 Brazil

    Yep, Karl's right. France are building plenty of pressure but the ball is slow to come out and Brazil are defending stoutly...
