It's a bit scrappy at the start of the second half as England try and slow the game down. France break sharply but Alex Matthews does really well to steal it back.

England women's goalkeeper Mary Earps showing solidarity with the Red Roses on BBC Two: "This is my first real rugby game. It's been a great game for England and I am loving the atmosphere.
"I would like to give rugby a go and like to take someone out, for sure!"

Maggie Alphonsi 2014 England World Cup winner on BBC Two
France were really sloppy and England were up in no time but France are very good at recognising when teams over-commit in defence and come out of the line too fast.

Every time England have kicked out of hand the last 20 minutes they have been massively punished - who is leading the team and saying “STOP KICKING THE BALL”
All over?published at 17:33 British Summer Time 26 April

A timely reminder that France almost stunned England when they last travelled to Twickenham in 2023, when they scored 33 points in an incredible second-half fightback.
The game finished 38-33 as France cut loose in attack in the second period, scoring tries from all over the pitch, showing what can happen if you kick inaccurately to their dangerous backs.

Brian Moore Former England hooker on BBC Two
France rewarded for their endeavours up front. They have the carriers to make significant ground against England. It's just the discipline to know when to go to the backs and when not to go.

Marine Menager (con Bourgeois)
Brilliant score! France are patient, picking their time to pick the ball up and fling it wide, captain Marine Menager is not wrapped up by a desperate tackle and dives over the line.
The brilliant kicker Morgane Bourgeois adds a tricky kick and France are within 10!
