  1. England 47-0 Samoa

    Brilliant step from Harmony Vatau as Samoa have by far their best attack, She drives them down to within a few metres...

  2. A 'small win' for Samoa

    England 47-0 Samoa

    Sara Orchard
    Women's Rugby World Cup commentator on BBC Two

    Samoa have to take these small wins and celebrate that.

  3. England 47-0 Samoa

    England could reach 50 points before half-time here, as Samoa celebrate turning the ball over well.

  4. England keeping up the rhythm

    England 47-0 Samoa

    Injured England captain Zoe Aldcroft and hooker Amy Cokayne bang the drum for their team-mates.

  5. 'Sniping finish'

    England 47-0 Samoa

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC Two

    It's a really smart finish. England just recycle. That was a nice little nine, sniping finish.

  6. 'A tired defence'

    England 47-0 Samoa

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    This is a prime example of a tired defence. They will get a break at half-time.

  7. converted try

    Converted try - England 47-0 Samoa

    Lucy Packer (con Rowland)

    England stay so calm in the red zone, every time Samoa hold them up they don't panic, just roll the ball on to the next forward to drive again. After three gains, scrum-half Packer spots a tiny gap and goes over herself.

  8. England 40-0 Samoa

    It's just error after error after error from Samoa at the minute, they are being physically and mentally battered by the professionals. Samoa make a change in the pack already as Tori Iosefo comes on.

  9. England 40-0 Samoa

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC Two

    What is interesting is Samoa's penalty count.

  10. 'Routine try'

    England 40-0 Samoa

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    That is what they consider a routine try.

    If you have got the drive and motivation in a driving maul it is very difficult to stop.

  11. converted try

    Converted try - England 40-0 Samoa

    Lark Atkin-Davies (con Rowland)

    A set-piece special from England as they maul over the line, with hooker Lark Atkin-Davies ending up over the line. That England pack is more or less unstoppable.

  12. Breach scores to get her half century for England

    Breach scores to get her half century for England

    Here is how England wing Jess Breach reached 50 tries in an England shirt.

  13. No try

    England 33-0 Samoa

    Has Meg Jones got her hat-trick?! I don't think she got it down but they are checking.

    No, she didn't touch it down cleanly.

  14. What is going on?

    If you're confused about what exactly goes on at a scrum, you are not alone.

  15. 'Top drawer control'

    England 33-0 Samoa

    Sara Orchard
    Women's Rugby World Cup commentator on BBC Two

    That was top drawer control at the base of a scrum by Maddie Feaunati. It is so hard to do when your head is down and you don't know where you are going.

  16. converted try

    Converted try - England 33-0 Samoa

    Maddie Feaunati (con Rowland)

    England just demolish the Samoa scrum and turn it 180 degrees before shoving the whole pack over the line. Number eight Maddie Feaunati does well to dribble the ball at the base and touch it down.

    Helena Rowland does her bit.

  17. England have standards

    England 26-0 Samoa

    Katy Daley-Mclean
    England's 2014 World Cup winning captain on BBC Two

    This is just really loose by England, they have standards and they won't be happy with this.

  18. England 26-0 Samoa

    'Jones breaks away' to score first try for England against Samoa

    Meg Jones is almost in for a very swift hat-trick but the pass from Kelsey Clifford is behind her and she juggles it.

    Here's how she did open the scoring...

  19. England 26-0 Samoa

    Brian Moore
    Former England hooker on BBC Two

    Samoa's front row are far too high, as soon as you come more upright there is no push. Both props need to get lower.

  20. England 26-0 Samoa

    That's on me, as fly-half Harmony Vatau knocks on under heavy pressure and England will have a scrum within sight of the line...
