We have to be quicker at this decision making for me. England had celebrated and they had already taken the kick.

It's been ruled out. Amy Cokayne didn't ground the ball properly. She's dropped it and knocked it on.
Hang on!
Amy Cokayne
Ruthless from England. Australia have been the better side but find themselves behind after England march up down the left and Amy Cokayne finishes off a maul!

Brilliant stuff from Ellie Kildunne, she's passed the ball in her own try zone, takes a big step to take out two defenders and then kicks clear.
