England Women 17 New Zealand Women 8: match report A vigorous first half from England with power in the rolling maul, saw the hosts go in at the break with a deserved 10-5 lead. Scarratt slotted one of two penalties on offer in the first half, but converted England's only try of the period after outside-half Alice Richardson went on a mazy run from just outside the 22, offloading neatly for flanker Hannah Gallagher to touch down. New Zealand hit back with a try of their own, when left wing Shakira Baker showed a blistering turn of pace to go over in the corner. The Black Ferns came out with more vigour at the start of the second half, and on 50 minutes referee Clare Daniels adjudged England to have gone over the top in a ruck. Kelly Brazier's penalty put New Zealand within two points. Watmore, who had a magnificent match at outside centre, made certain of the result when she found herself free on the outside, curving her run to touch down under the posts. It will be Sweet Chariot for the women at Twickenham on Saturday. England: Scarratt; Matthews, Watmore, Reed, Staniford, Richardson, Hunt; Crowley, Croker, Hemming, Taylor, Braund, Matthews, Gallagher, Hunter (c).
