Abby Dow's build-up to the most recent World Cup was a disrupted one as she recovered from a broken leg, just in time to help England reach the final in New Zealand.

The wing broke her hand earlier this year but she has fully recovered from that injury to be part of the Red Roses' squad for the upcoming World Cup.

"I'm very healthy right now," Dow, who is currently without a club, told BBC Sport's Sara Orchard.

"That really helps because, before [in 2022], it was very much about getting to that first game and getting to that massive mountain in itself - and then realising you've got another mountain to climb.

"This time around, I'm able to connect with the team much better and climb that mountain with everyone.

"We talk about reaching Everest, reaching that final and every single step that it takes. It's really nice that I'm climbing that with the whole team."

In their most recent meeting in April, England beat France - only just - in a high-scoring thriller at Allianz Stadium to secure a fourth consecutive Six Nations Grand Slam.

France: Bourgeois, Grisez, Menager (c), Neisen, Arbey, Arbez, Chambon; Deshay, Bigot, Bernadou, M Feleu (c), Fall Raclot, Escudero, Champon, T Feleu.

Replacements: Riffoneau, Brosseau, Khalfaoui, Ikahehegi, Makka, Cissokho, Queyroi, Tuy.

France are without scrum-half Pauline Bourdon Sansus, who is serving a ban for criticising the referee's performance in France's domestic final.

Instead Alexandra Chambon plays at nine in a side co-captained by second row Manae Feleu and centre Marine Menager. Uncapped back row Khoudedia Cissokho is on the bench.

Players to look out for are wingers Kelly Arbey and Joanna Grisez, who scored both scored superb tries when England beat France 43-42 in April.

Speaking of which...

England have made 11 changes to the starting side that thrashed Spain 97-7 in Leicester a week ago:

Kildunne; Dow, Jones, Heard, Breach; Harrison, Hunt; Botterman, Cokayne, Muir, Talling, Ward, Aldcroft (capt), Kabeya, Matthews.

Replacements: Atkin-Davies, Clifford, Bern, Galligan, Feaunati, L Packer, Rowland, Sing.

Good evening!

England barely broke into a sweat in last week's 97-7 thrashing of Spain, but I'll stick my neck out and predict that things will be quite a bit tougher tonight against perennial Six Nations rivals France on a sultry evening in Mont-de-Marsan in south-west France. And they'll want it that way as this is the last warm-up before World Cup starts.

Let's take a look at the teams.
