Team news
Zoe Harrison has got the nod at fly half for England ahead of Holly Aitchison, despite the Bristol playmaker’s impressive performance against Scotland. Claudia MacDonald does retain her spot ahead of Jess Breach on the wing, though, with Emma Sing given an opportunity at full-back after a hamstring injury ruled out Ellie Kildunne.
France lost back rows Romane Menager and Stephanie Okemba to injury ahead of the final round, with Charlotte Escudero and Lea Champon promoted to the starting side on the flanks. Emilie Boulard is left out with young gun Kelly Arbey favoured on the wing, while France again favour a six forwards to two backs bench split.
