    Alex: Error after error after error. England look like an amateur rugby team right now.

    So many mistakes! In the stadium and the atmosphere is so tense. Are France causing them or are England nervous? Can't tell!

    They were too slow. France have butchered an opportunity that would have put them ahead.

    England 7-5 France

    All France captain Marine Menager had to do was give the pass to Lea Champon. It looked a certain try but her pass is behind Champon. It all came after a kick from Pauline Bourdon Sansus was regathered.

    Next it is France to lose the ball. The conditions are playing a big factor in all these first-half errors as a wet ball does not usually mean slick handling.

    Loads of errors from England. The Red Roses are getting into good positions but the ball is not staying in their hands. The basics need to be better.

    England make a big statement with a scrum penalty. Into the corner the ball goes.

    England's red zone accuracy has got worse, it started at 70% but it was down to 40% against Scotland. Everyone should know their jobs and what comes next.

    France have been immense so far. Maybe they are better than England’s second team after all.

    Another penalty won by France. Any doubts now over whether they will turn up?

    England are lucky. They haven't played any decent rugby so far. You can't just rely on defence and a rolling maul!

    France deserve that, a great run by Arbey and the forwards have been carrying well, and on the balance of play they deserve it.

    Nassira Konde

    Lovely hands and over goes Nassira Konde. They are going to check it. It is all good after no knock on. Morgane Bourgeois drags her conversion wide which would have levelled the game.

    France wing Kelly Arbey opens up her legs and makes good metres. Les Bleues have been excellent.

    Loved Botterman's celebration after she slipped the pass to Ellie. Saluting when she still has 40 metres to go and a full-back to beat. That really gives an idea of the confidence everyone has in Kildunne's pace and elusiveness.

    France's maul is stopped by England. Abbie Ward was central to that. Great defence.

    Megan Jones gets over the ball and wins the ball back. England try and break from their own half but Ellie Kildunne is pushed out.

    England 7-0 France

    France fly-half Carla Arbez dribbles through a neat 50:22 kick. That means France get a line-out in England's 22 after kicking it from inside their own half.
