  1. England 28-17 France

    France run it from deep but the ball ends up off the field. That will be that.

  2. England 28-17 France

    Rosie Galligan drops the line-out. More time wasted. Meanwhile, Ellie Kildunne after two tries is named the player of the match.

  3. England 28-17 France

    Abby Dow's kick has too much on it. We come back for a penalty. England have done so well to close this out.

    Looks like it's going to be Canadian fluidity in attack vs English steel in defence next week. Should be a cracker!

  5. England 28-17 France

    France are deep inside their own 22. Not where they need to be. Megan Jones then gets over the ball to win a penalty.

    England's defence has been very good, but what worries me is how they have been opened up on the edges.

    I've been very critical of England's handling and attacking play generally, but Ellie Kildunne is different gravy. What a player!

    Try - England 28-17 France

    Nassira Konde

    Nassira Konde scores in the corner after sharp hands. However, the conversion falls short. That could be huge.

  9. England 28-12 France

    France go pounding towards England's line.

  10. Englnd 28-12 France

    Ellie Kildunne is now limping and does not look good.

    It's a good kick by Zoe Harrison, and then she makes the most of the chance. The talent of this player - she's balanced and poised.

    Converted try - England 28-12 France

    Ellie Kildunne (con Zoe Harrison)

    WOW! Ellie Kildunne scores a stunning try. I mean she could have passed it for an easier try, instead she opted to beat a load of defenders and race away. Magic stuff from the World Player of the Year.

    Zoe Harrison nails the extra two points.

    Playing ugly and winning. How many England teams could take a leaf out of their book?

  14. England 21-12 France

    France go through the phases but they can't gain any momentum. England have not been perfect but their defence has been excellent. Defence wins championships....

  15. Replacements

    England 21-12 France

    IN - Rosie Galligan, Maddie Feaunati, Lucy Packer and Holly Aitchison.

    Aitchison will play at inside centre in the place of Tatyana Heard, with Zoe Harrison staying on at fly-half.

  16. England 21-12 France

    France go quick from a penalty and kick it long. England clear and get out of danger. Jess Breach did really well to clean that up.

  17. England 21-12 France

    When England struggle, they turn to their maul. Here it is again. France stop it this time.

    Anon: If Canada are watching England v France, they'll be licking their lips because Canada look stronger than both England and France.

  19. England 21-12 France

    Lovely step and kick from Megan Jones. Calm play by the England centre. We are in the final quarter of the game.

    This is the first time we have seen a bit of speed at the breakdown, France had no time to react.
